I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Automatic Control from the Université de Nice Sophia-Antipolis (France) in 2007 and received my Electrical Engineering degree from the Universidad de Santiago de Chile in 2001.I am author of several publications in scientific journals and conferences. My professional experience includes the optimization of power electrical systems, automation projects, and the evaluation of the impact of distributed generation in distribution networks, among other subjects. My research interests are in the field of robust state estimation and control, with application to electrical and biotechnological systems (anaerobic digestion and microalgae cultures).Specialties: electrical engineering, protective relaying, automatic control, state observers design.
