Javier Bosch-Lluis earned his B.Sc. and M.S. degrees in Telecommunications Engineering from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), where he also received his Ph.D. in Remote Sensing from the Department of Signal Theory and Communications at UPC. Following his doctoral studies, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Microwave Systems Laboratory, Colorado State University.
At JPL, he has held key technical and system-level roles in the Cold Atom Laboratory (CAL), leading RF, microwave, timing, and control system developments for ultra-cold atom experiments aboard the International Space Station (ISS). He has been involved in next-generation upgrades and follow-on quantum flight hardware, with emphasis on system robustness, electromagnetic compatibility, thermal stability, fault protection, and space qualification of quantum instrumentation. In the Quantum Gravimetry Gradiometer (QGG) program, he contributes from a systems and electronics perspective to the development of atom-interferometric inertial sensors and gravity-gradient measurement architectures.
Prior to his work in quantum technology, he supported multiple airborne and spaceborne missions in Earth remote sensing. His research has spanned radiometry, polarimetric synthesis, GNSS reflectometry (GNSS-R), bistatic radar, atmospheric retrievals, autonomous systems for synergistic instruments, cryosphere and land remote sensing, and the integration of active and passive microwave techniques. In recognition of these contributions, he received the NASA Early Career Public Achievement Award in 2024.
