About
Dr. Alejandro Garcia-Santiago is a leading researcher in wireless communication networks, with a primary focus on Flying Ad-Hoc Networks (FANETs) and their integration with robotic vehicle systems. His seminal work, "Evaluation of AODV and DSDV routing protocols for a FANET: Further results towards robotic vehicle networks," published in 2018, has garnered 42 citations, establishing a foundational benchmark for protocol performance in dynamic aerial environments. Garcia-Santiago’s major contribution lies in systematically analyzing how traditional Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) protocols—like AODV and DSDV—perform under the unique constraints of FANETs, where high mobility and low-cost infrastructure demand robust, adaptive routing. His findings have directly informed the design of more efficient communication frameworks for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and robotic swarms, enabling real-time data exchange without fixed network support. Beyond this, his work underscores the practical viability of FANETs for applications in disaster response, surveillance, and remote sensing. Garcia-Santiago’s research continues to shape the evolution of autonomous network systems, bridging gaps between theoretical protocol design and real-world deployment in cost-sensitive, high-mobility scenarios.
