short cv

He was born in Fuerteventura, Spain, in 1988. He received the B.S and M.S. degree in industrial engineering from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), Spain, in 2012. From 2012 to 2014 he participated in a European project (XFEL). He received his Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from UPM in 2018. He has been a Teaching Assistant of electronics with the UPM since 2018.

He participated for two years in a European project (XFEL), where he collaborated in the design and development of dc/dc power supplies for superconducting magnets. His current research interests include modeling, control, and stability assessment of electronic power-based systems and Smart Microgrids.
