Laureano earned his MS.c. degree in Electrical Engineering in 2011 and completed his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Málaga, Spain (UMA) in 2017. During his academic journey, he gained valuable experiences and made significant contributions.

In 2009, Laureano served as a Summer Intern at the Institituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), actively participating in characterizing a CCD spectral camera designed for space communications. From 2010 to 2013, he focused on nonlinear noise modeling of semiconductor devices and microwave circuit design, under the guidance of Full Professor Íñigo Molina Fernández. His academic pursuits continued from 2014 to 2017 at UMA, where he concentrated on communication theory. In 2016, he spent six months as a Visiting Student at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, supervised by Full Professor Matthew R. McKay. Subsequently, from 2018 to 2019, Laureano worked as a Post-doctoral Fellow in the Electronic and Computer Engineering department of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. In 2020, Laureano ventured into the corporate world, joining the multinational company Indra as a D&D RF Engineer, contributing to the development of advanced electronic warfare equipment, specifically high-speed and low-noise frequency synthesizers in X and Ku bands. He transitioned to the multinational company Sener Aerospace in September 2021 as a Design RF Engineer, focusing on innovative New Space applications.

Currently, Laureano serves as an assistant professor at the University of Málaga, conducting research within the Photonics and RF Research Lab. Additionally, he is an esteemed reviewer for international journals in communication theory and random matrices, including IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communication, IEEE Transactions on Communications, IEEE Communication Letter, and Random Matrices: Theory and Applications. In recognition of the quality of his reviews, he received the Exemplary Reviewer award from the IEEE Transactions on Communications in 2017.
