Professor José Luis Guzmán received Computer Science Engineering and European Ph.D. degrees from the University of Almería, in 2002 and 2006 respectively. He is now a Full Professor of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering at the same university. His current research interests include the fields of control education, MPC techniques, PID control, and robust control with applications to agricultural processes, solar plants, and biotechnology. Prof. Guzmán has been a member of the Spanish Association in Automatic Control CEA-IFAC since 2003, the IEEE Control System Society since 2006, and the IFAC Technical Committee on Control Education and the IEEE Technical Committee on System Identification and Adaptive Control since 2008. He received the Extraordinary Doctorate Award from the University of Almería and the Medal of Agustín de Betancourt y Molina by the Spanish Royal Academy of Engineering for his research trajectory.







Ramon Costa-Castelló obtained his Masters degree in Computer Science in 1993 from UPC; in 2001, he obtained a PhD degree in Computer Science from the Advanced Automation and Robotics program at UPC, where he is now a Professor in the Automatic Control department. His teaching activity is related with different aspects in automatic control. His research is mainly focused on analysis and development of energy management (automotive and stationary applications) and the development of digital control techniques. He is a member of CEA, member of IFAC (EDCOM, TC 9.4 Committee, Automotive Control T.C. 7.1) and senior member of IEEE.
