Encarnación Gimeno Nieves is a Telecommunication Engineer since 1997 by the Polytechnic University of Valencia and Doctor in Computer Science Engineering since 2010 by the University of Alicante (outstanding cum-laude unanimously).

She joined the Department of Physics, Engineering Systems and Signal Theory of the University of Alicante in 1999. Subsequently, she has been a civil servant since 2002 with the position of assistant professor, and since 2010 she has been a associate professor.

At the Polytechnic School of the University of Alicante she has been director of the Master's Degree in Telecommunication Engineering (2014-2016), deputy director and academic coordinator of the Degree in Sound and Image in Telecommunication Engineering (2016-2020). Since 2021 she has held the position of academic coordinator of Communication and Equality.

As a lecturer in the area of Signal Theory and Communications, she has taught in several degrees: Signals and Systems (Computer Science Engineering), Linear Systems (Technical Telecommunication Engineering), Digital Signal Processing, Signals and Systems, Digital Electronics, Analogue Electronics, Communication Theory (Degree in Sound and Image in Telecommunication Engineering), Multidisciplinary Applications of Telecommunications, Research Techniques in Signal Processing and Communications (Master's Degree in Telecommunication Engineering), Technological Means for Private Investigation (Degree in Criminology). Since the DOCENTIA programme was set up in 2018/2919, she has obtained an overall rating of ‘Very favourable’ in all evaluations.

She is a member of the University Institute of Physics Applied to Sciences and Technologies. As a researcher she has contributed in several fields from the application of Digital Signal Processing techniques: synthetic aperture radar imaging algorithms, analysis and processing of acoustic, biomedical and seismic signals, and electromagnetic simulation. In addition, her research in the field of Mathematical Physics is framed in the resolution of differential equations that characterise the behaviour of non-linear oscillators.

Dr. Gimeno has been actively involved in gender studies and STEM careers outreach. Since 2019 collaborating in ‘Quiero Ser Ingeniera’ (programme coordinated by the Women's Institute for Equal Opportunities) and, subsequently, from 2022 to 2024 she has been coordinator in the programme in all its editions in the UA. In 2020 and 2022 she gave lectures to secondary school students in the ‘’Equal Campus Route‘’ (Equality Unit). Speaker at the round table ‘Science in feminine’ on the occasion of the ‘International Day of Women and Girls in Science, 11 February’ in 2022 at the University of Alicante. From 2019 to 2024 she has given 30 lectures on ‘Equality in Engineering’ in primary and secondary schools, in person and online (lecture programmes, University Venues, ‘UA goes to school’, ‘Women and Science’...). She has participated as a judge in four editions of the robotics competition ‘First Lego League’.

Since 2021, Encarnación coordinates and attends the secondary school visits and the Knowledge Olympics of the Polytechnic School of the University of Alicante and she is also the coordinator of its Cultural and Outreach Month.
