Fernando was born in Bogotá, Colombia on September 11, 1985. He received the Engineer degree in Electronics from National University of Colombia, in 2008 and the Master in Multimedia and Communications from the Carlos III University in Madrid, Spain, in 2014.
From 2010 to 2011, he was a Research Assistant with the International Centre for Physics in the Univesidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogotá, Colombia. He is currently working towards the Ph.D. degree with the Group of Radiofrequency, Electromagnetism, Microwaves and Antennas (GREMA) at the Carlos III University in Madrid. His present research interests include metamaterials based structures, non-Foster elements, ultra-wideband antennas, active-matching and miniaturisation of antennas.
