Biography

Ph.D.
Energy Engineering

Eduardo A. Montero received the M.S. degree in industrial engineering, specialised in energy engineering, from the Polytechnic University of Madrid, Spain, in 1984 and the Ph.D. degree in energy engineering from the University of Valladolid, Spain, in 1996.
He has been employed in the Department of Electromechanical Engineering at the University of Burgos, Spain, since 1984, being Assistant Professor since 1988 and Full Professor since 2017. Retired 2021. At the University of Burgos he has hold the positions of Vice-Dean of External Relations at the Higher Polytechnic School (1989-1994), Vice-Rector of Economics and Planning (1994-1997) and Head of the Department of Electromechanical Engineering (2004-2012).

His academic expertise includes engineering thermodynamics, heat transfer and energy technology. His research interests are experimental determination of thermodynamic properties of fluid mixtures (biofuels, refrigerants), energy efficiency systems in buildings and thermal energy storage. For more than 30 years, he has been the Director of research of the Energy Engineering group at the University of Burgos, where he has developed international and national competitive research projects, research services for industry. He is co-author of more than 80 articles published in high impact factor journals in the field of energy fluids.

He has been also Director for many years of the innovation & teaching group named “Active Learning and e-learning in Engineering” at the University of Burgos. Within this group, some contributions on e-learning, active learning and engineering education research projects have been developed. He is at present editor of the Engineering Board of MERLOT (Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching), supported by the California State University.
