Three days ago, our colleague Nicolás Robinson-García successfully defended his position as an Associate Professor in the Department of Information and Communication at the University of Granada.
This marks the culmination of a long journey toward tenure that began when he earned his PhD in 2014 with an award-winning thesis and exceptional productivity, including publications in prestigious journals such as Science.
Following his doctorate, he embarked on a seven-year period of consolidation at world-class research centers. He worked at INGENIO (CSIC-UPV), crossed the Atlantic to conduct research at the Georgia Institute of Technology (USA) as a Fulbright Scholar, and returned to Europe to work at TU Delft (Netherlands) as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow.
In 2021, he returned «home» under a Ramón y Cajal contract, taking on major leadership roles as the director of the EC3 Research Group and founder of the U^CHASS Unit of Excellence. With over 80 scientific articles and the R3 Certificate of excellence, Nico is not only a leading figure in bibliometrics and research evaluation but also a committed educator who has successfully bridged technology and documentation with the future of Translation.
Both the academic report and the presentation are open access and can be consulted via the Zenodo repository:
Congratulations, Professor!
