Biography:
Eduardo Pilo de la Fuente (www.pilo.es) is an Industrial Engineer, spec. in Electronics [ICAI, Pont Univ. Comillas, 1997] and PhD in Industrial Engineering [ICAI, 2003].

Between 1998 and 2010, he developped his career as a researcher in the Institute for Research in Technology (IIT, ICAI, Pont Univ. Comillas) participating in numerous research and consulting projects related to electrical power systems and railways. He also launched his docent profile teaching undergraduate and graduate courses, including the subject Railways Electrification in the Master in Railway Systems of Comillas Pont. Univ.

From 2010 to the present he has been the Technical Director of Multitest, a technology consulting company specializing in electric power systems and equipment, which has among its clients the major electric utilities in Spain.

Since May 2012 is CEO of EPRail (www.eprail.com), a new technology-based company specializing in modeling, design and optimization of electric railway systems, particularly their efficiency and sustainability.
