Bio

Jorge has over twenty-five years of experience in both scientific and industrial oriented research projects in the EU as well as Japan. Fifteen years of experience as a Project/Scientific Leader in collaboration with different universities, and design engineers from highly regarded Japanese companies in the medical field such as Kyotokagaku Co. Ltd., Hitachi Aloka Medical Ltd., etc. Jorge’s excellence has been also recognized in 2024 by the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA). An extensive list of publication list with peer reviewed papers (23 international journals and 153 international  conferences) and monograph books (3 edited volumes and 17 book chapters) with a total number of citations of 1995 (since 2021: 411), h-index: 26 (since 2021: 10) and i10-index:  68 (since 2021: 11)  [source Google Scholar].

Jorge has obtained 3 finalist awards at International Conference on Robots and Intelligent Systems (2007 and 2009) and International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics (2009), a best paper conference award at the 12th International Conference on Complex Medical Engineering and excellent paper award at icSmartGrid 2019. He has been the general co-chair of the 14th Mechatronics Forum International Conference and program co-chair for the 23rd CISM-IFToMM Symposium on Theory and Practice of Robots and Manipulators and the 2026 IEEE/SICE International Symposium on System Integration.

He is a senior member of the IEEE, member of the  Robotics Commission for the IFToMM, the International Federation for the Promotion of Machine and Mechanism Science.
