Sara Lumbreras holds a PhD and a MSc Eng from Universidad Pontificia Comillas. She is an associate professor at the Institute for Research in Technology at the ICAI School of Engineering. Her research focuses on the development and application of decision support techniques for complex problems, mainly in the energy sector and in particular in grid design. She specializes in stochastic optimization (classical and based on metaheuristics) and in risk management. She is the author of over forty publications and has participated in a series of projects with private companies and public institutions, such as the European Commission. She is a member of the board of the Chair of Science, Technology and Religion, where she studies the evolving nature of the links between technology and society. Hamdi Abdi was born in Paveh, Iran, in July1973. He received the B.Sc. degree from Tabriz University, Tabriz, Iran, in 1995, and the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, Iran, in 1999 and 2006, respectively, all in electrical engineering. He is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering, Razi University, Kermanshah, Iran. His research interests include power system optimization, operation and planning, smart grids, demand response, multi-carrier energy systems, energy hubs, load forecasting, and design of electrical and control systems for industrial plants.
