Professor of Mechatronic Engineering and Electronics at the University of Engineering and Technology - UTEC (Peru). PhD in Electrical Engineering from the Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Brazil) and Electronic Engineer from the National University of Engineering (Peru). His research areas include: intelligent control, modeling and control of mechatronic systems, power electronics and distributed generation systems based on renewable energy.
- Control of mechatronic systems.
- Design of intelligent control devices.
- Control of linear and nonlinear systems.
- Modeling and control of power converters for renewable energy sources.
- Automatic Control: The course, of theoretical-practical nature is designed for students of the Electronic Engineering, Mechatronic Engineering and other related Engineering career to learn the main concepts related to the field of Control Engineering, so that they acquire the ability to design and implement automatic control systems using classic control techniques.
- Nonlinear Systems Control: This course of theoretical and practical nature aims to address the analysis and control of nonlinear, variant and time-invariant systems. The importance for this study lies in the fact that most real systems are nonlinear. In this sense, it is necessary to understand the phenomena that interact on this type of systems in order to control them properly.
- Final Project of Electronic Engineering I: With this course, of a theoretical-practical nature, the student must demonstrate that he has acquired a series of competences considered fundamental in his profession, as well as other more concrete ones concerning the subject of the work. The general objective of this course is to ensure that UTEC students, regardless of their specialty, develop their research competence by applying the fundamentals of this field in their work as part of their training and competence network.
- Final Project of Mechatronics II: The course Final Project of Mechatronic Engineering II of theoretical-practical nature, seeks to guide students in the development of their research work initiated in the previous course of Final Project of Mechatronic Engineering I, applying engineering design methodology in developing solutions that meet the real needs of society.
- Decentralized fuzzy control for minimum and non-minimum phase of a coupled four-tank system. In this paper, a coupled four-tank MIMO process is controlled for its minimum and non-minimum phase based on the fuzzy control method. Link
- Comparative Analysis of Meteorological Databases and Transposition Models Applied To Photovoltaic Systems. The estimation of the impact of solar irradiation on the surface of photovoltaic panels is a determining factor for the analysis of risks and expected energy generated by photovoltaic systems. One of the biggest challenges in this field is to obtain incident radiation on inclined surfaces as the radiation data available in meteorological databases consider only radiation in the horizontal plane .

- A Robust Islanding Detection Method for Inverter-Based Distributed Generation Systems Using DC-Link Voltage Perturbation. High penetration of photovoltaic (PV) inverters in the utility network is occurring in several countries. Photovoltaic inverters must be able to detect the disconnection of the power grid and interrupt the active energy injection. This scenario is known as involuntary island. However, island detection methods (MDIs) are still subject to improvement, especially when considering high investor penetration, making vulnerable SDIs not made for this case. Link
