The Professor

Prof. Jose Antonino-Daviu was born in Valencia, Spain, in 1976. He received his M.Sc. and Ph. D. degrees in Electrical Engineering, both from the Universitat Politècnica de València, Valencia, Spain in 2000 and 2006, respectively and the Ms. Degree in Business Administration and Management from the Universitat de València, Valencia, Spain, in 2012. He worked for IBM, being involved in several international projects. He is currently Full Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering of the Universitat Politècnica de València, where he develops his docent and research work. He leads the Advanced Diagnosis of Electric Motors and Generators Team. He was also Secretary of the mentioned Department.

   His primary research interests are condition monitoring of electric machines, signal processing and its application to fault diagnosis as well as design and optimization of electrical installations and systems. His main achievement is the development of techniques for the reliable diagnosis of the rotor condition in electric motors; these innovative techniques rely on the analysis of machine's currents during transient operation.

   He has been invited professor in Helsinki University of Technology (Finland) in 2005 and 2007, Michigan State University (USA) in 2010, Korea University (South Korea) in 2014, Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 (France) in 2015 and Coventry University (UK) in 2016. He has taught seminars in several Universities all over the world, such as AGH University of Science and Technology of Krakow (Poland), Helsinki University of Technology (Finland), Michigan State University (USA), University of Korea (South Korea), Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 (France), Coventry University (U.K.), Università di Padova (Italy), Democritus University of Trace (Greece), Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro (México)...

   Moreover, he has established important collaborations with important companies where his techniques have been applied. He is co-author of more than 300 papers published in technical journals (> 120) and conference Proceedings (>180). He is also co-author of 1 international patent.

  Since 2012, he is IEEE Senior Member. He is Associate Editor of different prestigious journals, such as: IEEE transactions on Industrial Informatics, IEEE Industrial Electronics Magazine, IEEE transactions on Sustainable Energy, IEEE transactions on Cybernetics, Journal of Emerging and Selected Topics in Industrial Electronics, Machines and Sensors. He has been Special Session organizer as well as session chair in different IEEE conferences (IECON, ICEM, ICELIE, INDIN…) and he acts as reviewer for several IEEE journals as well as for other international publications. He was recipient of the IEEE Second Prize Paper Award of the Electric Machines Committee of the IEEE Industry Applications Society. He was also awarded with the Best Paper Award in the conferences IEEE ICEM 2012 (Marseille, France), IEEE SDEMPED 2011 (Bologna, Italy) and IEEE SDEMPED 2019 (Toulouse, France) and he was awarded with the 'Highly commended recognition' of the IET Innovation Awards in 2014 and in 2016 (London, UK). He was also recipient of the Extraordinary Award for the best Ph. D. theses (2007) and the Award of ‘International Finances-Banco Santander Chair’ to the Best record of the Ms. Degree in Business Administration and Management (2012). He has been General Co-Chair of SDEMPED 2013 and is member of the Steering Committee of IEEE SDEMPED and ICEM. He has also been General Co-Chair of ICEM 2022 held in Valencia, Spain in September 2022 and is member of the ICEM NPO Administrative Committee.

  Prof. Antonino-Daviu is often required by international companies to give his expert advise in the electric motors and generators condition monitoring area. He has provided assessment services and training courses for multiple companies all around the world (Siemens, General Electric, BASF, Repsol, SABIC…). He has also leaded many projects, both national and international, in collaboration with companies and industries.

   In 2016, he was awarded with the 'Medal of the Spanish Royal Academy of Engineering' for his contributions in new techniques for predictive maintenance of electric motors (2016). In 2018, he has been awarded with the prestigious ‘Nagamori Award’ from the Nagamori Foundation (Kyoto, Japan) in recognition to his brilliant contributions in the electric motors fault diagnosis area. In 2019 he has received the SDEMPED Diagnostic Achievement Award (Toulouse, France) in recognition to his contributions in electric motors fault diagnosis. He acted as Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Industry Applications Society for the period 2019-2021 (he delivered distinguished lectures in Italy, Greece, India, Argentina...). He has been appointed as IEEE IAS Prominent Lecturer for 2022-2023.  

Currently, he is Chair of the Electric Machines Committee of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES) and Delegate of the Energy Cluster of IEEE IES for 2024-2025.
