Autorenporträt
Prof. Victoriano Carmona Centeno obtained his PhD in Mathematics in 2002 at the University of Seville, Spain, under the supervision of Prof. E. Freire and Prof. F. Torres. His PhD Thesis was awarded with the Extraordinary Prize of Town Hall of Sevilla. Currently, he is an Associate Professor at the Department of Applied Mathematics II of the University of Seville. His research covers different aspects of Dynamical Systems, in particular, those related to piecewise smooth systems of differential equations. He is an active member of the Group of Dynamical Systems in Engineering of the University of Sevilla. Prof. Victoriano Carmona is author of many scientific publications in international journals, books and conferences proceedings. Some of these works have been highly cited and they are basic references in the field of piecewise linear dynamical systems. For instance, V. Carmona, E. Freire and F. Torres, On simplifying and classifying piecewise-linear systems, IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I: Fundamental Theory and Applications, 49: 609 (2002). He has reviewed many papers in international journals (for instance, Physica D, Nonlinearity, Proceedings London Mathematical Society,). He has taken part in the organization of several international conferences, the most recent one in Sevilla (Spain, 2016). Prof. Jesús Cuevas-Maraver obtained his PhD in Physics in 2003 in the Department of Condensed Matter Physics of the University of Seville, Spain, under the supervision of Prof. Francisco R. Romero and Prof. Juan F.R. Archilla. Presently he is as Associate Professor at the Department of Applied Physics I of the same university. His lectures in Elementary Physics (Mechanics, Thermodynamics and Electromagnetism) take place at the Polytechnic School in the degree of Industrial Chemical Engineering. His research covers many aspects of Nonlinear Science and is based inthe theoretical study of nonlinear localized waves as solitons, kinks or breathers that emerge in many physics systems. He has considered a wide range of such systems, which includes crystals, biomolecules, Bose-Einstein condensates, waveguide arrays, nonlinear circuits or transmission lines and metamaterials. He is a frequent referee in international journals, including Nature Physics, Physical Review Letters or Optics Letters. Prof. Jesús Cuevas-Maraver has written 96 scientific publications covering international journals and books. He has been author of several chapters in Springer books (P.G. Kevrekidis (ed.), The Discrete Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation (2009); B.A. Malomed (ed.), Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking, Self-Trapping, and Josephson Oscillations (2013); Machado et al (eds.), Nonlinear Science and Complexity (2011)]. He has been the main editor of Vol. 10 in Springer Series in Nonlinear Systems and Complexity [The sine-Gordon model and its application (2014)], where he also wrote a chapter, and coeditor of the Vol. 7 of the same series [Localized Excitations in Nonlinear Complex Systems (2014)]. Prof. Fernando Fernández-Sánchez obtained his PhD in Mathematics in 2002 at the University of Seville, Spain, under the supervision of Prof. E. Freire and Prof. A.J. Rodríguez-Luis. His PhD Thesis was awarded with the Extraordinary Prize of the University of Sevilla. Currently, Prof. Fernández-Sánchez is an Associate Professor at the Department of Applied Mathematics II of the University of Seville. His research covers different aspects of Dynamical Systems, in particular, those related to global bifurcations (homoclinic and heteroclinic connections) in three dimensional dynamical systems and piecewise smooth systems of differential equations. He is an active member of the Group of Dynamical Systems in Engineering of the University of Sevilla. Prof. Fernando Fernández-Sánchez is author/co-author of more than 40 papers in international journals (Chaos, Nonlinearity, SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems, etc.). He has also published several chapters in scientific books and attended many conferences, meetings and worksh of differential equations. She is an active member of the Group of Dynamical Systems in Engineering of the University of Sevilla. Prof. Elisabeth García-Medina is a young researcher that has published several works in international journals (Chaos, Nonlinearity, Nonlinear Analysis, etc.), chapters of scientific books and conference proceedings. She has attended many conferences, meeting and workshops related to dynamical systems. She has also taken part in the organization of several international conferencesand Schools, the most recent one in Sevilla (Spain, 2016).
