The Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) and the Spanish company MASMOVIL have created a professorship oriented around the improvement of the user’s experience through the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the analysis of large quantities of data (Big Data), which will award grants to six engineering students in order to develop their projects.

This joint professorship between UC3M and MASMOVIL intends to investigate questions related to the application of Big Data and AI oriented around improving the experience of the users of the online applications and platforms. For this, the grant-awarded projects will receive all the support and information necessary for their development as well as infrastructure and material and digital resources. Furthermore, the students will have the consultancy of HUB Digital, a department of MASMOVIL in charge of the digital transformation of the company made up of developers and engineers specialised in digitalisation, and will have a laboratory where they can explore, examine and experiment.

The grant-awarded projects should focus on improving the experience of telecommunication users through six lines of research: the study of the behaviour of the networks and the search for solutions that will improve the network coverage and access speed, the prediction of infrastructure failure, the recommendation of personalised rates, the carrying out of emotional readings through the use of digital textual language, user satisfaction studies and the server performance analysis.

The inauguration event, which took place on the UC3M’s Colmenarejo campus, was attended by several representatives of the UC3M and the company, such as: Meinrad Spenger, Chief Technology Officer of the Group; and Alberto Galaso, the director of HUB Digital. The directors of this new professorship are the lecturers Miguel A. Patricio, Antonio Berlanga and José M. Molina, from the UC3M’s IT department.
