Javier Sanchez-Espiga

I am part of the Research Group in Mechanical Engineering in the University of Cantabria.

My main research focus is on Power Transmission systems, more precisely, gear transmissions design, analysis, condition monitoring, optimization, and modeling.

I completed my PhD in 2021 obtaining the Best PhD Award both from the Spanish Association of Mechanical Engineers and the University of Cantabria. I have coauthored 20+ high-impact journal publications and I have experience in participating in different projects (competitive and private) aimed to the use of gear transmissions in industry, condition monitoring of manufacturing processes and renewable energy production.

I have experience in cooperation with other research groups having completed a pre-doctoral research stay in the CMEMS at the University of Minho, under the supervision of Prof. Paulo Flores. Likewise, I completed a post-doctoral research stay in the FZG at the Technical University of Munich, under the supervision of Prof. Karsten Stahl. Both of these experiences led to joint publications and significant advances.

Currently, I am studying a MSc. in Computer Science at the Heriot-Watt University. This leads me to implement Data Analysis and Artificial Intelligence to solving Mechanical Engineering problems in an accurate and efficient manner.
