Summary
Xavier Vilajosana is a seasoned researcher-entrepreneur and wireless systems leader with over a decade of experience translating low-power, industrial wireless research into commercial products and standards. As co-founder and CIO of Worldsensing and a full professor directing the Wireless Networks Lab at UOC, he blends academic rigor (PhD) with hands-on industrialization of LPWAN and 6TiSCH technologies. He has held roles from HP senior firmware architect to UC Berkeley visiting professor (Fulbright), authored IETF RFCs, and holds 30+ patents and 60+ journal publications that shaped low-power industrial networking. Xavier’s work uniquely spans standardization, startup creation (including OpenMote and Sensefields), and large-scale urban deployments, making him as comfortable drafting protocol specs as leading product R&D. Based in Barcelona, he continues to advise European initiatives like the EPI while coordinating complex projects at GAIA PATHFINDER.
