Francesc Pozo received the degree in mathematics from the University of Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain, in 2000, and the Ph.D. degree in Applied Mathematics from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Barcelona, in 2005. Since 2000, he has been with the Department of Mathematics and the Barcelona East School of Engineering (EEBE), Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, where he is currently an Associate Professor with the Control, Modeling, Identification and Applications Research Group (CoDAlab). He is also a Teaching Collaborator at the Open University of Catalonia, Barcelona.


His research interests include wind turbine control, semiactive vibration mitigation in civil engineering structures (buildings and bridges), automotive and aeronautic systems, and offshore support structures, structural health monitoring (SHM) and condition monitoring (CM) and, in general, the application of applied mathematics in engineering problems.


Dr. Pozo serves as a Secretary of the Spanish Joint Chapter of the IEEE Control Systems Society (CSS) and the IEEE Industrial Applications Society (IAS). He is also a member of the European Association for the Control of Structures (EACS) and an Editorial Board Member for international journals, such as Structural Control & Health Monitoring, Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Sensors, Algorithms, Journal of Vibration and Control, International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, Energies and Frontiers in Built Environment. Dr. Pozo is author of more than 63 research papers, 22 book chapters and 122 conference papers.
