Rebollar at Polytechnic University of Madrid, Spain, on the design of circular waveguide polarizer devices on microwaves/millimeter waves to be used on communication satellite antennas. As a result, a new developed computer software, based on a full solution of electromagnetic equations, was able to predict polarizer behaviour with enough accuracy to be used for industrial optimization and design purposes. This software was the only one available at that time and was transferred to relevant research institutions and companies on that field for industrial use. He serves as Associate Professor (Profesor Titular de Universidad) at University of Málaga in 1994, focusing his research work on interdisciplinary applications of digital signal and image processing, with many collaborations on medical, chemical, biological, underwater and industrial fields.
