M. (Mauricio) Muñoz Arias, PhD
Research interests
M. Muñoz-Arias is a researcher focusing on developing and applying port-Hamiltonian control theory, particularly in aerospace systems, renewable energy, robotics, and sustainable technologies. His work spans various domains, including satellite attitude control, the design of CubeSats for Earth observation, energy optimization for wave energy converters, and control strategies for solar-powered and pumped-hydro storage systems. Additionally, Muñoz-Arias has contributed significantly to modelling and control in mechanical systems, such as flexible-joint manipulators and robotic arms, with a particular emphasis on energy-based approaches. His interdisciplinary research also extends to visual servo control and the dynamics of compound eyes in biological systems.
