Antonio Urbina is a Professor of Applied Physics and has been working at the Public University of Navarra (UPNA) since 2021. He studied Physics at the Complutense University of Madrid, completed his PhD on the Quantum Hall Effect at the Institute of Materials Science in Madrid (ICMM-CSIC) and worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Wisconsin (Madison), the University of Cambridge and Imperial College London. He has been a full professor in the Department of Electronics at the Polytechnic University of Cartagena.

Licenciado en Ciencias Físicas en 2001 por la Universidad de Zaragoza y Doctor en Física por la Universidad del País Vasco en 2008. Tras una estancia postdoctoral en el Instituto Laue-Langevin de Grenoble, en 2009 se incorporó a la Universidad Pública de Navarra como Profesor Ayudante Doctor. Actualmente es Profesor Titular de Universidad del área Física Aplicada, en el Departamento de Ciencias de la UPNA.

Su actividad docente se ha desarrollado tanto en la E.T.S. de Ingenieros Industriales y de Telecomunicación como en la E.T.S. de Ingenieros Agrónomos de la Universidad Pública de Navarra, donde ha impartido docencia en estudios de primer y segundo ciclo, grado y máster de diversas titulaciones así como dirigido dos Tesis Doctorales y numerosos Trabajos de Fin de Estudios.

Su actividad investigadora, llevado a cabo dentro del grupo ‘Propiedades físicas y aplicaciones de materiales’, se centra en el campo de la Física de Materiales y en particular en el estudio de las transiciones de fase en sólidos, siendo su línea prioritaria actual la caracterización y optimización de las propiedades termo-magneto-mecánicas de aleaciones con memoria de forma magnéticas. Dicha investigación se ha llevado a cabo en el marco de 14 proyectos de investigación financiados por entidades regionales, nacionales e internacionales. El trabajo realizado hasta la fecha ha dado lugar a más de 80 artículos publicados en revistas internacionales indexadas en JCR así como a la presentación de más de 80 comunicaciones a congresos. Actualmente cuenta con tres sexenios de investigación.

I am Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Science and Statistics, belonging to the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, where I have worked since September 2017. As a researcher, I enjoyed two-year National grant to do research at the Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena, from February-2022 and until January-2024.

I obtained a degree in Technical Eng. in Computer Systems (2005) at the University of Murcia, where I also graduated in Advertising and Public Relations (2008) and Journalism (2011). I obtained a grant from Spanish Education Ministery to study the official Master's Degree in Computer Science and Mathematics applied to Science and Engineering in 2009, after which I enrolled in the Ph.D. in Renewable Energies at the Polytechnic University of Cartagena. I began collaborating on research projects during my years as a student and later as a Ph.D. student, culminating with the defense of the doctoral thesis, "Computing tools applied to the analysis of performance and sustainability of photovoltaic systems" in 2013, with a Cum Laude and European doctorate.

My research has focused on studying the performance of solar photovoltaic technologies, the environmental impact of their latest generation (thin films), and the application of Artificial Intelligence to PV-related data. With this aim, I apply Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, as defined in the ISO 14040 series, and Grammatical Evolution to find models that reflect the specific behavior of Building Integrated Photovoltaic generators.

Beatriz Romero Herrero holds a PhD in Physics from the Polytechnic University of Madrid (1998) and has been a Full Professor of Electronic Technology at Rey Juan Carlos University since 2017. She has over 30 years of research experience in optoelectronic devices. During her doctoral thesis, she worked on GaAs-based quantum well semiconductor lasers. Her current research focuses on organic and perovskite-based optoelectronic devices: primarily photodiodes, memristors, and solar cells. She is a co-author of more than 75 indexed international papers, most of which have an impact factor. She holds a commercialisation licence and two national patents. She has participated in more than 22 publicly funded research projects, leading seven of them (three under the national plan and four sub-projects of the Community of Madrid's R&D Activities programmes). She has undertaken pre-doctoral visits (totalling over six months) at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Physics in Freiburg (Germany) and at the University of Tampere (Finland). During her postdoctoral period, she undertook two short visits to the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy in Freiburg, Germany. He has undertaken teaching placements, as part of the Erasmus programme, in Kassel (Germany), Nottingham (UK), Malmö (Sweden), Gdańsk (Poland), and Bangkok.

I hold a degree in Physics (specialising in electronics) from the Complutense University of Madrid and a PhD from the Rey Juan Carlos University in the fabrication, characterisation, and simulation of organic light-emitting diodes.
From June 2000 to July 2002, I worked in the Photonic Crystals group at the European Space Agency (Noordwijk, Netherlands). I subsequently joined the Department of Electronic Technology at the Carlos III University of Madrid, where I teach and participate in research projects in the field of optoelectronics and laser technology.

In January 2004, I joined the Electronic Technology Division at the Rey Juan Carlos University. I am currently a member of the Organic Electronic and Photonic Devices Group (DELFO). My research focuses on photodiodes, sensors, and photovoltaic cells: fabrication, electro-optical characterisation, degradation studies, and circuit and physical modelling of these devices in DC and AC. In 2016, I undertook a five-month visit to the photovoltaics group at the National Physical Laboratory (Teddington, UK).
I have participated in over 20 research projects, having led two competitive projects funded by the Community of Madrid and MINECO. I am a co-author of two patents, have over 20 publications in recognised international journals with a high impact factor (JCR), and have presented over 30 papers at national and international conferences.
