Bio

I work at the Laboratorio de Ingeniería Mecánica (LIM - Mechanical Engineering Lab) of the University of A Coruña, in Ferrol, Spain.

My research interests comprise multibody system dynamics, co-simulation, cyber-physical systems, and digital twins.

I graduated in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Navarra (Spain) in 2004, and received my Ph.D. from University of A Coruña in 2010. I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Applied Dynamics Lab in the Centre for Intelligent Machines at McGill University (Montréal, Canada) between 2010 and 2014, and held a Juan de la Cierva postdoctoral fellowship from the Ministry of Economy of Spain between 2014 and 2017. From 2018 to 2023 I worked under the Ramón y Cajal programme, a 5-year research fellowship also granted by the Ministry of Economy, back at LIM.
