ABOUT
I hold a Doctorate in Applied Mathematics from the University of Valencia, Spain, conferred in 1999. Notably, I served as the principal investigator in two I+D+i contracts with Navantia S.A (2007-2012), facilitating the funding of a predoctoral scholarship and a predoctoral research contract. This endeavor resulted in the submission of two PhD theses and the creation of the software SIMUSUB, presently employed at Navantia. Additionally, I have delivered keynote addresses at various national (e.g., XXVII CEDYA/XVII CMA, held in Zaragoza in 2022) and international congresses and workshops (e.g., at the esteemed Institute Henri Poincaré, Paris).
My academic engagements extend globally, having served as a visiting researcher at multiple esteemed institutions: (1) School of Mathematics, University of New South Wales (Australia, 3 months in 2000); (2) Instituto de Matemática - Laboratorio Nacional de Computación, Rio de Janeiro (Brazil, 6 weeks in 2003); (3) Departament de Mathématiques, Université de Franche-Comté (France, several short visits between 2006-2010); (4) École Polytechnique de Paris (France, several short visits between 2008-2014); (5) Mathematics Department, University of California, Santa Barbara (USA, 4 months in 2021). Furthermore, my research contributions have been recognized through successive periods of research activity (Sexenios de investigación y transferencia), totaling five periods, with the latest spanning from 2016 to 2021.

The presentation is not focused on specific prototypes of soft robots, but in a more general description of soft smart materials. The goal is to provide a unified and rigorous mathematical approach to open-loop control strategies for soft materials that hopefully might lay the seeds for future research in this field.</jats:p>},

Error estimates for the generalization error for both state and control are derived from classical observability inequalities and energy estimates for the considered PDE. These error bounds, that apply to any exact controllable linear system of PDEs and in any dimension, provide a rigorous justification for the use of neural networks in this field. Preliminary numerical simulation results for three different types of PDEs are carried out to illustrate the performance of the proposed methodology.</jats:p>},

abstract = {<jats:title>SUMMARY</jats:title><jats:p>On the basis of the classical variational reformulation of optimal control problems, we introduce a numerical scheme for solving those problems where the goal is the computation of optimal controls in feedback and digital forms defined on a discrete time mesh. The algorithm reduces the computation of such controls to solving a suitable nonlinear mathematical programming problem where the unknowns are the controls and slope of the state variable of the original problem. The motivation for this study comes from the real‐world engineering problem which consists of maneuvering a manned submarine by using the blowing‐venting control system of the ballast tanks of the vehicle. After checking the proposed algorithm in an academic example, we apply it to the maneuvering problem of submarines whose mathematical model includes a state law which is composed of a system of twenty‐four nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Numerical results illustrate the performance of the numerical scheme. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.</jats:p>},
