I hold a PhD in Naval and Industrial Engineering and am currently an Assistant Professor at the University of A Coruña (UDC), a researcher in the Integrated Engineering Group (GII), and co-coordinator for UDC of the research line on Digital Twin of Plant and Process in the CEMI 22-25 NAVANTIA-UDC project.
My research activity focuses on the modeling and simulation of industrial processes, the optimization of manufacturing and logistics systems, and the application of emerging digital technologies in the industrial sector.
I have collaborated on projects with companies such as Navantia and international organizations such as NATO, combining simulation, optimization, and automation to improve complex production processes.
This section shows the teaching given in degrees, masters and other officers studies in last 6 years.
