ALFONSO URQUIA was born in 1969 in Madrid, Spain. He received his M.S. degree in Physics in 1992 from Universidad Complutense de Madrid and his Ph.D. in Physics in 2000 from Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED). His work experience includes five years as a R&D engineer at AT&T Microelectrónica España, Lucent Technologies and Agere Systems. Since 2002, he has been working as an Associate Professor (Profesor Titular de Universidad) at Dpto. Informática y Automática, UNED, in Madrid. His research is focused on mathematical modeling and computer simulation. He has obtained the positive evaluation of his teaching activity during three 5-year periods (quinquenios 1996-2005, 2005-10, 2010-15) and his research activity during three 6-year periods (sexenios 1998-2003, 2004-09, 2010-15). He is the head of the UNED research team on Modeling and Simulation in Control Engineering, and the UNED teaching innovation group on "Educational technologies based on modeling and simulation with Modelica".
