**Hugo Carreno-Luengo**

Hugo Carreno-Luengo received the degree of Ingeniero Aeronautico (Plan Antiguo de Estudios, ´ "bachelor+master"), with a specialization in spacecrafts, from the Escuela Tecnica Superior de ´ Ingenieros Aeronauticos (ETSIA), the Universidad Polit ´ ecnica de Madrid (UPM), Madrid, Spain, in ´ 2010, and the PhD degree (Cum Laude) from the Department of Signal Theory and Communications (TSC), the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC), Barcelona, Spain, 2016. `

From 2009 to 2010, he carried out his final degree project at the Department of Aircrafts and Space Vehicles at UPM. In 2011, he undertook his master's degree in space science and technology at UPC, and was the recipient of a PhD fellowship from the Institut d'Estudis Espacials de Catalunya (IEEC), where he was involved in the design and development of the first-ever nanosatellite for Earth remote sensing using GNSS-R (2011–2016). From 2012 to 2015, he was the PI of the TORMES and TORMES 2.0 projects within ESA's REXUS/BEXUS and was a co-PI of the E-GEM FP7 project. From 2013 to 2014, he was a Visiting Researcher for the ESA/ESTEC, DLR, Esrange Space Center, and in the summer of 2016, he was invited by the China Great Wall Industry Corporation (CGWIC) to assist in the launch campaign of the 3Cat-2 CubeSat at Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. From 2016 to 2017, he was a JPL Post-doctorate Researcher at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA, USA, working on a GNSS-Reflectometry experiment, using the radar aboard NASA's SMAP mission. The experiment was successful, and it set the basis for the development of a new SMAP operational mode. Later, he was a JdC Post-doctorate Fellow on the NASA CYGNSS Science Team (2017–2019). Since 2019, he has been serving as a Research Scientist at the University of Michigan (UMich) College of Engineering, working directly with the Principal Investigator of NASA's CYGNSS mission, under a contract with the NASA Science Mission Directorate.
