Category: Lecturer
Research Area: Power-Economics Regulation Research Group
Membership dates: 29/Jun/1992 - 15/Dec/2007

Biography:
I obtained an Electronic Engineering Degree from the Universidad Pontificia, Madrid, in 1992 and a Ph.D. Degree from the same University in 1999. I joined the Instituto de Investigación Tecnológica (IIT) in 1992 where I am currently a research fellow. I have experience in industry joint research projects in the field of Electric Energy Systems in collaboration with Spanish utilities. My areas of interest are regulation, operation and planning of distribution systems, power quality and reliability issues.
