Rafael de Jesús Navas González was born in Jaén (Spain) in 1964. He received the degree of  Licenciado en Ciencias, Sección  Físicas, Especialidad  Electrónica,   from the  University of  Granada (Spain) in 1987, and the Ph.D. of  Doctor Ingeniero en Informática from the  University of Málaga (Spain) in 2000.

From 1988- 1993 he worked in the R&D Department of Fujitsu España S.A in Málaga, as design engineer in its microelectronics group. After a training period in Computer Added Design tools (CAD), which included training courses and sort stays in Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona (UAB), Centro Nacional de Microelectrónica (CNM), and the ATT design center in Tres Cantos (Madrid), he participated in several ASIC´s specification and design projects.   

In 1993 he joined the University of Málaga as Profesor Asociado . In  December 2000 he presented its Tesis Doctoral entitle "Diseño y Aplicación de Controladores Neuro Difusos Integrados en Modo Mixto de Alta Complejidad " whose advisor was  Dr. Fernando Vidal Verdú.   Both constitute the research  group DEIAM  (Grupo de Diseño en E lectrónica Integrada y Sistemas) Ref: PAI: TIC-182 .


Since 2003 he is Profesor Titular de Universidad.

His recent research activity is focussed in the following fields:

                          - Design of integrated circuits for hardware implementation of neuro-fuzzy control algorithms.
                           - Applications of these circuits in the power electronic field.
                           - Advanced sensors and actuator intelligent interfaces.
                           - Microsystems integration.
                           - Technologies for blind peoples.
