CURRICULUM VITAE:
She holds a degree in Education Sciences from the National University of Cordoba, Argentina, and a PhD in Pedagogy from the University of Santiago de Compostela, where she currently teaches New Technologies applied to Education.Her professional and personal history is divided into two worlds: the beginnings in Córdoba-Argentina and her entry into a Spanish university.
She has worked here and there guided by two lines: teacher training at all levels of the education system and the theory-practice relationship, or how theory helps us to understand the daily practice of teachers, a profession she takes on as her own.In his professional development, he has been constantly interested in didactics in two different but complementary fields: university and primary school. On the one hand, the university, and the meaning of teaching in it.It is the organisational context in which she carries out her practice as a teacher, so that analysis and research into her own practice makes perfect sense there.
Her doctoral thesis focused on understanding the professional identity of university teachers.
The primary school is the place where she first worked as a pedagogical advisor in a context of innovation, and where she has had the opportunity to learn and learn the pleasure of learning, from teachers and pupils.She has continued in this line of research, from her teaching degree classes, the results of which can be seen in various publications and directed works.
At present, the integration of information and communication technologies and the meaning of teaching in this context have become the axis through which the two fields of work converge.He is also currently coordinating international inter-university cooperation projects.

CURRICULUM VITAE:
María José Moure Rodríguez is PhD in Telecommunication Engineering from the University of Vigo (1996) and Associate Professor in the Department of Electronic Technology at the University of Vigo since 1993. Her research has been linked to the development of applications on programmable logic circuits and the design of instrumentation systems and sensor-based electronic circuits. At the same time, he has participated in different educational projects related to the development of virtual laboratories and applications that facilitate the learning and understanding of highly complex systems. This research is supported by publications at conferences and in prestigious journals, thanks to which he has been awarded 3 research periods. I have also combined her participation as a researcher in research projects, both national and regional, with projects of transfer to companies.
Since almost the commercial inception of configurable devices (FPGAs), she has worked at the research and development level with reconfigurable electronic systems. This research experience is related to his teaching experience as he has taught undergraduate, masters and doctorate related to the design, hardware and software, of reconfigurable electronic circuits. Some of her publications in the field of FPGAs have served to analyse the increasingly complex architectures of these configurable circuits that require both hardware and software design perspectives. This analysis allows us to understand the application of these devices in fields as diverse as industrial electronics, mechatronics, robotics, signal processing and unmanned vehicle guidance. In the same way, I have also published different applications based on FPGAs that have allowed accelerating algorithms or making SoC (System On Chip) systems less expensive, more versatile or that allow speeding up the implementation of complex algorithms. In the field of education, it has participated in research projects for the creation of multimedia programmes and hardware platforms aimed at teaching electronics. These are systems that facilitate self-learning but also the understanding of the functioning of circuits and can therefore be used in traditional laboratories.
