Miguel Vaquero
Miguel Vaquero received his Bachelor and Master’s degrees (w. honors) in mathematics from the Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, Spain. He moved to Madrid to get his PhD in applied mathematics from ICMAT (center of excellence, Severo Ochoa Distinction) publishing in reputed journals in the field and spending time abroad visiting renowned universities in North America. During that time, he also taught at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. From 2017 to 2020 he was a member of the research group of J. Cortés at the University of California, San Diego in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department. His recent research efforts focus mainly on the design of new algorithms able to cope with challenging problems from physics and engineering using techniques from dynamical systems and optimization in a data-driven fashion.
