Arturo Molina-cristobal

Biography

Arturo graduated with a BSc in Mechanical Engineering with a major in Mechantronics from Universidad Iberoamericana, Mexico, in 1996. From 2001 to 2005 he completed his PhD in the Department of Automatic Control & Systems Engineering, in collaboration with the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre (UTC), at the University of Sheffield. His PhD research was aimed at comparing Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMI) techniques and genetic algorithms (GAs) in Multiobjective Control with application to gas turbine engines. From 2005 to 2006 he joined the Cambridge Engineering Design Centre to work in Robust Multiobjective Optimisation, with application to real-world engineering problems. From 2006 to 2009 he joined the Electrical Machines and Drives Group, at the University of Sheffield, to work in the More Open Electrical Technologies (MOET) for Aircraft Power Systems project. He re-joined the Cambridge Engineering Design Centre (EDC) from July 2009 to May 2011 to work on the Robust Multiobjective Optimisation of Submarine Propulsion Systems project, funded by the Office of Naval Research (ONR), USA.

Research Interest

Arturo's work is focused on developing engineering methods to advance current research areas such as Multidisciplinary Design Optimisation (MDO), uncertainty management, robust design and optimisation for model-based design of engineering systems.
