Vicente González Millán, Telecommunications Engineer from the Polytechnic University of Valencia (1993), PhD in Telecommunications Engineering from the University of Valencia (1998), Graduate in Physics (2019). Professor of Electronic Technology in the Department of Electronic Engineering of the University of Valencia since 2016. He is a member of the i2N research group (Electronic Instrumentation in Medical and Nuclear Physics) and responsible for the nuclear instrumentation research line, a member of IRIMED (UVEG-LaFe Joint Research Unit), a member of GFTENA (Consolidated Research Unit of the Junta de Castilla y León), a member of the TC-10 committee on Signal Integrity of the IEEE Electromagnetic Compatibility Society and a member of the IEEE Consultants Network. His doctoral thesis on the evaluation of hierarchical and parallel architectures for data acquisition systems applied to particle physics experiments was published in the books 'Handbook of Sensor Networks: compact wireless and wired sensing systems' and 'Smart Dust: sensor network applications, architecture and design' published by CRC Press. From 1995 to 2013 he worked on the realization of the Read Out Driver system for the TileCal hadronic calorimeter of the ATLAS/LHC experiment at CERN. Since 2012 he has been participating in the AGATA collaboration in the development of the experiment's backend electronics. He also participates in the NEDA and GRIT experiments. He is the author of more than 50 international publications in the first third or fourth of their categories. He has supervised 10 doctoral theses related to the development of electronics for data acquisition in high-energy experiments or nuclear physics and transfer to ICT companies. He has participated in several research projects, 14 of them funded by the CICYT (6 of them as principal investigator), 2 by the European Union (one as an external advisor) and 5 by the Generalitat Valenciana (including several PROMETEO projects). He is co-inventor of two patents in operation by the company FERMAX, S.A.U. The scientific objectives pursued by his line of research are the establishment of a strong participation in international experiments both in the technical and scientific areas thanks to collaboration with other groups. In this sense, the medium-term objective is to consolidate the presence and importance of the pole formed by the AGATA-IFIC group of the Institute of Corpuscular Physics and the i2N group in the AGATA experiment.
SANCHIS KILDERS, ESTEBAN PDI-Catedratic/a d'UniversitatDelegat/Delegada Rector/A	Despacho 3.3.14 Dpt. de Ingeniería Electrónica ETSE-UV Avd. de la Universitat s/n 46100 Burjassot SPAIN 963544029 (D) esteban.sanchis@uv.es	Personal file	Biography
I earned a BSc in Physical Sciences from the University of Valencia in 1990 and a PhD in Electronic Engineering in 1997. I entered the body of Associate Professors (Profesor TItular) at the university in 1999 and became a Full Professor (Catedrático) in 2016. I would like to highlight that I benefited from a specialization grant for technologists awarded by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science from 1992 to 1994, during which I carried out R&D work in the Power Conditioning Section of the European Space Agency at the European Space Technology Centre (ESTEC) in the Netherlands. In terms of administrative duties, I served as Secretary of the ETSE‑UV (Faculty of Science and Technology) from 2003 to 2005 and as Deputy Director of the ETSE‑UV from 2005 to 2012. I have also acted as Delegate of the Rector for the FORTHEM alliance since 2019, having established and developed the participation of the University of Valencia in the European Universities FORTHEM alliance. My research is primarily focused on the space sector, leading power‑system design projects for space instruments and also participating in other competitive European Space Agency research projects. These projects have always been part of consortia, notably the Spanish Space Solar Physics Consortium (BOE No. 228, 22 September 2022, p. 130300 et al.). The projects have led me to manage National Plan projects as an PI (Principal Investigator) from 2016 to the present. Since 2020, the PHI instrument aboard the Solar Orbiter satellite has been in orbit around the sun, and the power supply—under my team’s responsibility—has operated flawlessly with no failures since then. Within the research group, I have also collaborated on the power‑device line, focusing on characterizing devices for space applications, and on the industrial‑applications line specialized in high‑power inverters mainly for induction heating. The application of SiC components has enabled new milestones with these inverters. In all cases, I have also developed projects with industry, combining research with technology transfer. All my research activities are carried out alongside my teaching duties and university administration responsibilities.
