Carlos Ocampo-Martinez
Education Liaison for IFAC TC 8.3. Modelling and Control of Environmental Systems
|
Bio. Dr. Ocampo-Martinez received his electronic engineering degree and his MSc. degree in industrial automation from the National University of Colombia, Campus Manizales, in 2001 and 2003, respectively. In 2007, he received his Ph.D. degree in Control Engineering from the Technical University of Catalonia (Barcelona, Spain). After his PhD studies, he was with the ARC Centre of Complex Dynamic Systems and Control (University of Newcastle, Australia) as postdoctoral fellow and with the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) at the Institut de Robòtica i Informàtica Industrial (CSIC-UPC) in Barcelona as a Juan de la Cierva research fellow. Since 2011, he is assistant professor in automatic control and model predictive control at the Technical University of Catalunya, Automatic Control Department (ESAII). Currently, he is Deputy Director of the Institut de Robòtica i Informàtica Industrial (CSIC-UPC), a Joint Research Center of UPC and CSIC. He has over 90 peer-reviewed scientific publications in journals and prestigious conferences and congresses around the world. He is the author of the book "Model Predictive Control of Wastewater Systems" (Springer, 2011). Moreover, he is Senior Member of the IEEE Control Systems Society and vice-chair of the IFAC Technical Committee 8.3 on "Modelling and Control of Environmental Systems" since 2014. His main research interests are focused on constrained model predictive control, large-scale systems management (partitioning and non-centralized control), and industrial applications (mainly related to the key scopes of water and energy). Plain Talk about TC8.3. This TC aims at performing exciting research in all topics related to air, land and water (environmental systems), how they are represented, modeled and how we can manage them in such a way they can be exploited efficiently, taking care of the influence of the society over them. In few works, we develop methodologies for describing how the environmental systems behave and, according to global and/or particular problems and objectives, how to design control strategies applied to them. For instance, most of our researchers work on water, in order to know the main problems of this important resource and then proposing the way, techniques and tools for solving those problems and ensuring the proper exploitation. |
