Nicolás's contributions to different industrial R&D projects at European and regional level focus on helping companies build new products and services out of the data they manipulate or have access to. His current interests include wearable technologies and their applications, web technologies, human-machine interaction and (computer) security.
For six years, Nicolás coordinated and contributed to the VariBru project, an initiative in Brussels that brought research results to software companies, dealing with complexity caused by the number of variants in a product or a product portfolio.
Before joining Sirris in 2007, Nicolás was a post-doctoral teaching assistant at the Computer Science department of the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), where his research focused on cryptography and computer security, in particular, reducing the trust requirements in fair exchange (i.e. e-commerce) protocols.
