Biography:

Diego A. Tejada-Arango received his BSc degree in 2006, from the “Universidad Nacional”, in Medellin, Colombia, in electrical engineering, in 2013 he obtained a MSc degree in electrical engineering at Universidad de Antioquia, in Medellin, Colombia with the GIMEL Group; he is working towards a MSc in Research in Engineering Systems Modeling at Universidad Pontificia Comillas, in Madrid, Spain with the IIT. From 2005 to 2009, he was a consultant engineer at Ingeniería Especializada S.A. (IEB), Colombia, from 2009 to 2011, he was operational analyst at Interconexión Eléctrica S.A. (ISA), Colombia; and from 2011 to 2015, and he was part of the Planning Department of “XM S. A. E. S. P.,” Colombia. Nowadays, he is Research Assistant at the Energy Systems Modeling are at the Institute for Research in Technology (IIT) of Comillas Pontifical University in Madrid, and student of the \"Official Master\'s Degree in Research in Engineering Systems Modeling\". His research interests lie within development of modeling tools for the analysis and planning of the energy sector, in particular the generation capacity expansion problem.
