Background
Daniel Jacobo Díaz González holds a degree in Computer Systems Engineering (2001) and a degree in Computer Science Engineering (2004), both from the University of La Laguna. From 2004 to 2019, he served as Chief Technology Officer (CTO) in the private sector, gaining extensive experience in project management and technological development.
In 2019, he earned a Master of Science in Astrophysics from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) with a thesis entitled “Implementation of a High-Resolution Spectrometer”. That same year, he joined the Computing Department of the Institute of Radio Astronomy and Astrophysics (UNAM), where he worked until 2024 developing infrastructure and methodologies for astronomical data analysis.
In 2024, he obtained his Ph.D. in Astrophysics with the thesis “Radio Interferometric and Single Dish Image Combination and Application to Multi-Scale Studies of Star Formation”, specializing in the study of massive star-forming regions through the combination of interferometric and single-dish observations.
Since February 2025, he has been a member of the AMIGA group at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC), where he focuses on the development and application of simulation tools to assess the scientific performance of the future Square Kilometre Array (SKA) interferometer.
