Gradiant shares its expertise in 5G and Advanced Communications at Hi Coruña
Aurora Paz, a member of Gradiant’s Advanced Communications area, will share her experience leading cutting-edge projects related to 5G networks, communication systems applied to aviation, and the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
This project includes various talks by engineers from the Technology Center with the goal of highlighting women leaders in the tech sector.
“Women Technologists of the 21st Century” will continue next December with a talk by Araceli Goiriz, a member of the Security and Privacy area at Gradiant.
The second talk in the “Women Technologists of the 21st Century” series, organized by Gradiant and Hi Coruña, took place today, November 20, with Aurora Paz, a telecommunications engineer and member of the Advanced Communications area at the Technology Center. During her presentation at Gradiant’s headquarters in the city, Paz shared her experience leading several cutting-edge projects related to 5G networks, communication systems applied to aviation, and the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance network management and security.
With a solid academic background that includes a degree in Telecommunications Engineering and a master’s degree in Telecommunications Engineering, Aurora began her professional career developing full-stack applications. However, it was in the field of telecommunications, particularly in network study and programming, where she found her true passion. “Since I was little, my curiosity for mathematical problems led me to seek solutions in engineering, and upon entering the telecommunications field, I discovered an incredibly vast and diverse domain. Although at first there weren’t many role models in technology, I now see that the situation is changing, and it’s becoming easier for women to find their place in this sector,” Aurora said during her talk.
During the session, she delved into her experience and the crucial role of AI in enhancing 5G networks. “We are exploring new architectures and applications for 5G networks that not only improve speed and efficiency but also enable innovations such as intelligent network attack management, connectivity optimization, and the development of new use cases in sectors like aviation,” the engineer explained. In addition to her involvement in 5G projects, she manages the 5G lab and coordinates the infrastructure and support for other innovative telecommunications projects. Her work also includes designing communication simulators and using AI for task automation within cellular networks. As she explains, “Through Artificial Intelligence, we can make cellular networks smarter and more secure, which is essential for the evolution of the sector.”
In her presentation, she also emphasized her experience as a woman in a predominantly male field. “When I started my degree, there were few women compared to men at university. It was crucial to create support networks among us to help each other overcome difficulties. Today, women are taking on more visible roles in telecommunications, but there is still much to be done to ensure that all voices are heard and represented,” she stressed.
The “Women Technologists of the 21st Century” series continues its mission to showcase women leaders in technology, promoting knowledge exchange and the creation of inclusive spaces in science and technology. After Aurora Paz’s talk, the final session of the year will take place on December 18 with Araceli Goiriz, an expert in Security and Privacy at Gradiant.
