Marisol is Full Professor in the Department of Communications of Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain,
since 2019. Before, she was Associate Professor at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, where she founded the Laboratory
of Distributed Real-Time Systems and led it for 11 years.
She obtained her PhD on Computer Science and Engineering in 2001 from the Technical University of Madrid (Spain), and
her degree of Computer Science and Engineering from Universitat Jaume I in 1996.
She has had an active participation in research projects, both at European and national levels. She has been
scientific coordinator of the European project iLAND (EU FP7-ARTEMIS-100026) and of various national projects.
She has authored over 50 scientific papers in journals indexed by JCR, as well as numerous scientific papers in relevant
conferences and workshops sponsored by major scientific societies like ACM, IEEE, or AdaEurope.
She has been member of the Program Committee of major conferences including IEEE IoTDI, ICIOT, ISORC, or RTAS; and
she has been General Chair of IEEE ISORC 2019 and Program Committee Chair for ISORC 2018, ACM ARM, or IEEE CERTS, among
many others.
She is member of the Editorial Board of the scientific journals: Future Generation Computer Systems and Journal of
Systems Architecture.
She has received several distinctions and recognitions. Among them, the Excellence in Research Prize granted by the
Social Council of Universidad Carlos III de Madrid in 2014, and the Recognition for the excellence in Project Coordination
granted by the EU ARTEMIS JU in 2012 for the results of the iLAND project (FP7-ARTEMIS-100026).

Research
My current research interest targets IoT, cybersecurity, middleware, and web security programming in the context of
Social dispersed computing applications.
I work on techniques and mechanisms to design and develop
these systems so that they operate in a safe, secure, and resilient manner both in the cyber and in the physical domains.
Social dispersed computing applications that involve sensoring,
monitoring and cross processing of massive data are one of my major application drivers at the moment.
Nevertheless, the application domains that inspire my research work are diverse: industrial systems, eHealth, critical
infrastructures, smart cities, or aerospace, among others.
Here is a list of areas related to the security, safety, and resilience of systems in which I am interested:
- Fog computing
- Internet of Things and Cyber-Physical Systems
- Applications' security
- Analysis of digital identities
- Middleware for [real-time] applications
- Web services, services integration, and virtualization (containers and systems)
Other areas of interest include operating systems, concurrent execution, and time-sensitive applications.
