José Gabriel Martinez Gil, doctor of the UPCT, received the Antoni Aldaz prize from the Electrochemistry group of the Royal Spanish Society of Chemistry for the best doctoral thesis in 2016. Martínez, a native of Calasparra and who studied Electronic Engineering at the UPCT, Part of the Swedish group Bionics & Transduction Science, led by EWH Jager.
In his doctoral thesis, directed by the UPCT professor Toribio Fernández Otero, he has developed the first artificial device that is both motor and sensor and the whole theoretical model that describes it.
This allows, with a computer and a simple software, to develop devices and robots aware of their movement and the conditions of their environment.
PhD research has achieved more than 40 publications in high impact international journals, three book chapters and more than 40 presentations at international conferences.
Fernández Otero, head of the research group on electrochemistry, materials and intelligent devices, stresses that "the work of Martinez as a researcher opens the imagination to the development of future robots much more intelligent than the current ones, with a sense of touch and with similar soft materials To those of humans or animals. "
As an award winner, Martínez Gil, 31, spoke a few days ago the conference "Conducting polymer actuators: from basic concepts to proprioceptive systems" at the XXXVIII congress of the group held in Vitoria.
