His research focuses on two areas of research. On the one hand, global and multi-objective optimization, intelligent systems for decision support, and their applications to complex problems for Industry and Companies. On the other hand, modeling, numerical simulation (FEM and FVM) and applications, including calculations on complex problems of engineering and optimal designs in multidisciplinary simulation problems. He is coauthor of over 200 published works, including JCR journals, book chapters and presentations at national and international conferences. He has served as reviewer for several journals. He has participated as principal investigator and coordinator of projects and contracts of national and international research and acted as a member of the scientific committee and / or program of several international conferences. He has received several awards for his research and has fifth periods of 6 years on research work and transfer of knowledge (sexenios) recognized by the Ministry of Education and Science.

Dr. Antonio Pulido-Alonso began his career in the field of an air conditioning, water, and fire-fighting facilities. Since 1996 Dr. Pulido-Alonsois an Associate Professor at the department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain. With more than 57 published papers, including JCR journals, book chapters, and international conferences, Dr. Pulido-Alonso has collaborated research publications that have focused mainly on the analysis of energy systems and on the study of environmental impacts of projects. In the field of territorial energy planning, he has participated in projects with the public company for territorial planning "Gesplan". He has also developed environmental studies, such as an environmental study for a thermal power plant, as well as a measurement campaign and preparation of reports on electromagnetic fields in power lines.
