My organisation

Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) - Technical University of Madrid is the largest Spanish technological university. With two recognitions as Campus of International Excellence, it is outstanding in its research activity together with its training of highly qualified professionals, competitive at an international level. More than 2,900 researchers carry out their activity at the UPM, grouped in 220 Research Groups, 24 Research Centers or Institutes and 55 Laboratories, all of them committed to transform the knowledge generated into innovation advances applied to the production sector, contributing to solve the challenges of the European citizens. The intense collaboration with governmental bodies and industry guarantees that research at the UPM offers real solutions to real-world problems. It is among the Spanish universities with the greatest research activity and first in the capture of external resources in a competitive regime. UPM headed the Spanish University participation in the 7th European Framework Program and Horizon 2020 Program with 290 and 551 projects respectively. In Horizon Europe UPM keeps on its active participation thank to its highly innovation driven profile. UPM signs annually around 700 contracts with private businesses, due to its traditional and close relationship with the industrial and business sector, which supports and back its research and technology development in all Engineering fields. UPM obtains around 40 patents per year, demonstrating a high commitment to innovation. One of the main UPM technology transfer driver is the business creation, such as the ActúaUPM program that has created more than 320 new companies and 150 startups with a survival rate above 60% after five years. These companies have secured over €180 million in funding and generated more than 1,000 high-quality jobs, consolidating UPM as a driver of innovation and entrepreneurship. In addition, UPM is positioned as one of Spain’s leading universities for patents, with an active portfolio of 605 patents (applications and grants). All this shows that UPM is an institution committed to the transfer of knowledge generated to society, and its transformation into advances and technological developments applied to the productive sector.

About me

Alberto Mozo is Full Professor at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and Director of the PRISMA (Practical Research in Intelligent Solutions for Multidomain Applications) Research Group. He has been Principal Investigator in around a dozen European H2020 and Horizon Europe projects applying Big Data, Machine-Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence to telecommunications, industrial systems, cybersecurity and smart water management.

The PRISMA group develops AI-based soft-sensors, predictive models, anomaly detection methods, digital twins and LLM-agent-based decision-support systems for complex industrial and environmental processes. The group works on the integration of LLM agents capable of supporting monitoring, diagnosis, prediction, optimisation and semi-automated decision-making in data-driven operational environments.

The PRISMA group is currently collaborating with IMDEA Water researchers on AI methods for soft-sensor generation, forecasting and automated decision-making in water-related processes, with strong potential transfer to circular resource management, industrial efficiency and sustainable operation of critical infrastructures.

The PRISMA group also owns and operates in-house high-performance NVIDIA H100 and H200 GPU infrastructure, enabling the local deployment, adaptation and fine-tuning of state-of-the-art LLM agents for specific industrial and environmental domains.

Looking for: We are preparing a RIVCircular Topic 5 proposal on digital water-quality intelligence and are looking only for pilot partners located in Hauts-de-France, Innlandet or Vienna. For Vienna, only enterprises are eligible.

We seek industrial companies, utilities or site operators with access to water, wastewater or water-based process streams who can host a low-disruption monitoring pilot. The monitored stream does not necessarily need to be conventional wastewater: it could also come from an industrial process, a treatment unit, a reuse loop, a fermentation process, or another water-rich operational environment, such as a brewery yeast fermenter.

Nanoelectra (https://nanoelectra.com/)) will provide the water-quality sensing technology, while the consortium will develop the digital analytics layer to support real-time monitoring, process optimisation, early anomaly detection and circular-economy decision-making.

Partners will gain early access to advanced monitoring capabilities, support from water-tech and AI experts, and a collaborative route to validate the solution in real operating conditio
