Biography:
Jesus was born in Spain, in 1989. He received his diploma degree in Industrial Engineering with a major in Automatic Control in 2013, from the University of Vigo. In 2016, he graduated from a Master of Science in Microsystems Engineering with a major in Optimal Control and Numerical Optimization, at the University of Freiburg. In parallel with his studies, he worked in the Highwind ERC project developing a Model Predictive Controller for a real Airborne Wind Energy System. Currently he is pursuing his PhD at VITO in collaboration with TU Delft, as a member of the INCITE network. His research interests are the control of energy markets, optimal control, machine learning and optimization algorithms.
