<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nMar\u00eda del Mar Castilla<\/strong> studied Computer Science Technical\nEngineering (2003-2006), Computer Science Engineering (2006-2008) and Master in\nIndustrial Computer Science (2008-2009) at the University of Almer\u00eda, Spain. Afterwards,\nshe worked within the framework of the ARFRISOL research project from October\n2008 to February 2009 on the development of user\u2019s comfort control approaches. Subsequently,\nshe obtained a Ph.D. grant to finish her doctoral thesis (international mention\nand extraordinary doctorate award) in 2013. Then, she enjoyed a postdoctoral\ngrant in the area of Automatic Control and System Engineering\nat the University of Almer\u00eda. Then, she obtained a \u201cJuan de la Cierva – Formaci\u00f3n\u201d\ngrant at the Department of Automatic Control and System Engineering of the University\nof Seville in 2016. Afterwards, she held the position of Lecturer and\nResearcher at the Department of Automatic Control and System Engineering of the\nUniversity of Seville from July 2017 to September 2018. Finally, at present, she\nholds a position of Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Almeria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Her research interests include climate\nmodelling, control education, model predictive control, feedforward and\nhierarchical control, with applications to users\u2019 comfort, energy efficient\nbuildings and microgrids. She is co-author of the book \u201cComfort Control in Buildings<\/em>\u201d (Springer, 2014) and the\nbook chapter \u201cUn ejemplo pr\u00e1ctico de arquitectura bioclim\u00e1tica: el edificio\nC-DdI-CIESOL-ARFRISOL<\/em>\u201d published within the book \u201cDom\u00f3tica para\nIngenieros<\/em>\u201d (Paraninfo, 2014). She has been\ndirector and co-director of 8 diploma theses in these lines. She is co-author of 19 international journal\npapers, 24 papers in international conferences and 19 papers in national\nconferences. H-index: 13 (Google Scholar), 10 (Scopus), 6 (Web of Science). She has participated in 9 R&D projects, 5\neducational innovation projects and 3 contracts with companies. She is reviewer\nof more than 10 renowned international journals (more than 40 reviews). She has\nreceived one national award for the best work in the area of Control\nEngineering within the works presented at the XXXII Jornadas de Autom\u00e1tica<\/em>\nand one international award for the best work presented within the special\nsession Control Techniques for Renewable Energy microgrids <\/em>held within\nthe framework of the 39th<\/sup> Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial\nElectronics Society. She has carried out three international research stays at\nthe Federal University of Santa Catarina (Brazil – 6 months), at the Automatic\nControl Laboratory of ETH (Switzerland \u2013 3 months) and at the University of\nBrescia (Italy \u2013 2.43 months). She belongs to the Automatic Control, Robotics\nand Mechatronics research group (TEP-197) and the Comit\u00e9 Espa\u00f1ol de Autom\u00e1tica\n(main Spanish Association in Automatic Control) since 2009.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She has taught Automatic Control & Robotics related subjects both in\nthe University of Seville and the University of Almer\u00eda in different University\ndegrees: Industrial Technology Engineering, Telecommunication Engineering, Electronics,\nRobotic and Mechatronics Engineering, Computer Science Engineering, Industrial\nElectronics Engineering, M\u00e1ster in Industrial Engineering, Master in Computer Science:\nTechnology and Applications and Master in Industrial Computer Science. She has\nparticipated in research networks related to control education.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Related links<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Assoc Prof Automatic Control & Systems Engineering<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":618,"parent":43,"menu_order":11,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-278","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","czr-hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/arm.ual.es\/arm-group\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/278","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/arm.ual.es\/arm-group\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/arm.ual.es\/arm-group\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arm.ual.es\/arm-group\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arm.ual.es\/arm-group\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=278"}],"version-history":[{"count":19,"href":"https:\/\/arm.ual.es\/arm-group\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/278\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2513,"href":"https:\/\/arm.ual.es\/arm-group\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/278\/revisions\/2513"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arm.ual.es\/arm-group\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/43"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arm.ual.es\/arm-group\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/618"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/arm.ual.es\/arm-group\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/arm.ual.es\/arm-group\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/04-Logotipo-horizontal.png\")
