Full Professor
Industrial Engineer from the University of Málaga (1999). I am full professor in Mechanical Engineering since 2022. My experience encompasses more than 20 years of teaching and research activity within the Mechanical Engineering Department of the University of Malaga. Within my research career, I have worked mainly in three lines of research: development and improvement of systems related to vehicle safety, optimal mechanism synthesis, and, more recently, the study of the dynamic behavior of rigid catenary power systems on railways. I am co-author of more than 100 Scientific publications from my participation in national and international research projects. I am a co-inventor in 7 patents, 6 of them in the field of vehicles.
I have participated in more than 15 contracts with companies and public institutions.
At the university of Malaga, I am responsible for courses related to transport engineering, industrial maintenance and vehicle technologies. I also coordinate the doctoral program in Mechanical Engineering and Energy Efficiency. I have been tutor of the UMA-Racing team, which has participated in five editions of the MOTOSTUDENT International competition, in which we have obtained great results, winning the competition in the electric category twice.
