Background
Cristobal received his degree in mechanical engineering in 2010 from Universidad Politècnica de Valencia (Spain), followed by an MSc Eng. degree in Design of Rotating Machines from Â鶹´«Ã½AV in 2011. His MSc thesis "Design of a gearbox test-rig and a novel approach to machine monitoring" was awarded the Gear Transmission Price for the 2010/2011 academic year by the British Gear Association. He recently completed his PhD in the field of condition monitoring applied to large scale industrial systems at Â鶹´«Ã½AV, which was part of the Marie Curie FP7 project 'Energy-Smartops'.
Current activities
Cristobal's main research interests have been focused on signal processing algorithms, multivariate data analysis, condition monitoring and predictive maintenance. He is currently a Research Fellow at the Through-life Engineering Sevices Centre on the 'Degradation of linear machines' research project, where he is working on the development, testing, and implementation of monitoring algorithms for electromechanical linear actuators.
