RESUMEN DEL CURRÍCULUM

(adecuado a los proceso de evaluación según los principios DORA)

He attained a Degree in Physics in 1996 after studying at the UCM. Three years later he defended your Ph. D. thesis at the UPM getting the highest qualification possible (“Sobresaliente cum laude”); your dissertation was distinguished with Honours for its quality (“Premio Extraordinario”) the following year.

Since then, he has maintained a continuous research on different aspects of the classical dynamics of chaotic systems of two and more degrees of freedom.

He has been conducting studies on classical chaos in systems with two or more degrees of freedom. He has made a number of significant contributions to the field, such as applying to chaotic molecules the frequency analysis (which was originally developed to study the Solar System), extending this method to higher dimension, or the development of other chaos indicators to study the phase structure of chaotic systems.

At the same time, he has also performed studies on several aspects of the dynamics and topology of other complex systems, such as coupled maps, temporal series associated with financial markets or with telecommunication networks, dynamic systems with memory or spatial patterns in soils.

He has published several articles on all these topics in indexed journals, and supervised several Ph. D. dissertations, the first one being defended in 2004

In 2007, he joined the research line on complex networks that the Complex System Group was conducting, developing new models for networks and applying them to different social, technological and natural systems. This line of research has been extremely fruitful, as assessed by the large number of articles published in high impact journals. Among other results, let us remark here that, by using multilayer tools, we have demonstrated that Twitter can be used to predict political opinions in conversations, to measure the society polarization or to detect which nodes are the most influential ones. Over the last years, in addition to all the indexed publications, he has also supervised four Ph. D. dissertations on this field.

The studies on consensus in networks and on the optimal strategies to reach the greatest number of influenced nodes in the event that there are two opposing opinion groups, has led him to approach the study of continuous games and their dynamics from a physical perspective. He has now begun to study, both numerically and analytically, different types of quantum continuous games and the influence of memory on their dynamics.

He has published more than 60 papers in JCR journals. In the period 2011-2021 she has published 40 papers, 20 in Q1 journals of the JCR (7 of them D1).

He is currently Lecturer (“Profesor Contratado Doctor I3”) at the UPM. He has obtained three six-year research periods, being the last one still active (2019). He has continuously been a member of different research projects from the Plan Nacional, being the last one still active, and two of the European Commission, as well as from other grants financed by his home university and other regional institutions.

He is a member of the network of researchers DANCE (Dynamics, Attractors, Nonlinearity, Chaos and Stability) and head of the UPM node.

He actively collaborates with several international institutions, such the Universidade Federal da Bahia (Brasil) and the Técnica Federico Santa María (Chile), within the framework of several competitive grants and projects that I have coordinated.

He has presented several communications in both national and international conferences and workshops. He has been a member of the Organizing Committee of seven international and two national conferences.

He has supervised 11 Ph. D. dissertations, all with the highest qualification possible (“Sobresaliente cum laude”), one of them distinguished with Honours (“Premio Extraordinario”). Two of his Ph. D.  students have created companies related to their field of research, one in Chile and the other in Spain.

He is currently supervising four Ph. D. dissertations within the Ph. D. program in Complex Systems (RD99/2011), where he is Academic Secretary. This fact assures the correct future development of his research lines.

He has been a member of several Ph D. tribunals and carries out continuous referee activity in different JCR journals. Likewise, he has been Guest Editor in three Special Issues of indexed journals, as well as in the section Social Network Applications in Homeland Security, Terrorism, Fraud Detection, Public Sector and Case Studies de la Encyclopedia of Social Network Analysis and Mining (Springer)

He has participated in scientific dissemination activities, such as an annual activity in Science Week, several summer courses, two MOOC courses at Miriada X, etc. He has published three Physics and Laboratory Physics books for undergraduate students.
