Biography:
Fco. Alberto Campos Fernández holds a degree in Mathematical Sciences from the Complutense University of Madrid (1999), with a specialization in Operations Research, and a PhD in Industrial Engineering from the Pontifical Comillas University (2006).
He is currently a full-time researcher at the Institute for Technological Research (IIT) and a professor in the Department of Industrial Organization at the ICAI School of Engineering.
He holds official accreditation from ANECA and ACAP for the positions of PHd. Assistant Professor, PHd. Contracted Professor and Private University Professor, as well as additional accreditation from ANECA as a Collaborating Professor and Associate Professor and he holds three six-year research terms ("sexenios") in mathematics acreditated by ANECA.
Areas of interest:
Operations research. Optimization. Nash equilibrium. Planning and operation of energy systems. Hydrogen, Gas and Electricity Markets. Cryptology. Security and Defense.
Experience:
During his pre- and postdoctoral training, he was awarded scholarships for 10 years. In 2013, he received the government-funded 'José Castillejo' grant for young doctors, through which he completed a six-month research stay at the University of London.
He has taught various subjects such as Operations Research, Systems Optimization Techniques, Mathematical Methods, and Operations Management. He has also collaborated in postgraduate and official master's courses related to fuzzy logic, system reliability, and metaheuristic algorithms, and has occasionally given lectures at other universities.
He has extensive experience leading and participating in research projects in collaboration with industry and government in the energy sector.
Skills:
Operations Research. GAMS. VBA. Matlab
Current research interests:
Hydrogen markets. Renewable energy integration. Hourly integration. Reserve operation. Storage. Electric and Hydrogen vehicles. Energy communities. Distributed generation. Cryptology. Security and Defense.
