Biography:
Industrial Engineer specializing in Mechanical Engineering and Machines from the Higher Technical School of Industrial Engineers at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) (Plan 76). He holds a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (graduated top of his class) and a PhD in Mechanical Engineering, both from the UPM.
Dr. Juan David Cano Moreno has worked since 2007, spending 7 years at the Railway Technology Research Center (CITEF) located at ETSII, UPM. Since 2014, he has been a professor at the UPM, currently holding the position of Associate Professor at ETSIDI-UPM. He is also a member of the Industrial Manufacturing and Design Research Group at UPM, leading two research lines: • Analysis of Mechanical Vibrations and Their Effects on Humans • Application of Creativity to Industrial Design
Research Experience:
Dr. Juan David Cano Moreno has worked in various fields related to mechanical engineering and creativity. He has participated in several national and international projects, including those related to innovative design and dynamic simulation in vertical transportation systems (escalators, acceleration walkways). In the railway sector, he has been involved in projects related to dynamic simulation of railways, analysis and design of rolling stock, passenger evacuation simulations, pantograph-catenary contact simulations, experimental analysis of ride comfort and safety, and the study of vibrations and noise from the perspective of track corrugation. He has also been a pioneer in dynamic simulation and the analysis of vibration impacts in electric scooters.
Areas of interest:
• General Mechanical Engineering and disruptive design • Application of creativity techniques to industrial design • Vibration analysis and its impact on humans • Topological design • Mechanical design of prosthetics
