Former members
Sergio Castro-Ruiz
Sergio is the second PhD student of TESLab. He joined the Thermal and Electrical Systems Laboratory from January 2021 to June 2024. He mainly worked on the development of thermogalvanic cells and solid-electrolyte thermoelectric systems. He is now working at Metrohm DropSens (Spain).
Dr. Mauricio Solís de la Fuente
Mauricio joined TESLab from June 2020 to March 2024. He worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the UncorrelaTEd project to develop systems combining thermoelectric materials with electrolytes. He is now working at Qurv (Spain) as a process engineer.
Víctor Mendiola Curto
Víctor joined TESLab as 4th-course student of Mechanical Engineering from June to September 2022. He was working in his Final Year Project and internship related to the fabrication of a new instrument to measure thermal conductivity of liquids with a thermoelectric device.
Marc Carbó Feliu
Marc joined TESLab from March to May 2021 as student of 4th course of Mechanical Engineering Degree to perform his Final Year Project, related to the study of degradation phenomena of thermoelectric modules under operating conditions by impedance spectroscopy. Later that year, from November to December, he worked in the Universitat Jaume I project titled “Development of impedance spectroscopy as a new tool to characterise and evaluate the conversion of heat to electricity using thermoelectric devices and Generators”. After completing his Final Year Project, he found a job in the company AMC.
Dr Braulio Beltrán-Pitarch
Braulio was the first PhD student of TESLab. He joined the Thermal and Electrical Systems Laboratory from April 2016 to December 2020. He mainly worked on the development of advanced methods for characterisation of thermoelectric materials and devices (mainly impedance spectroscopy), the identification of new applications for thermoelectric devices, and also collaborated in the preparation and characterisation of solid-liquid thermoelectric systems. He performed his 1st postdoc at DTU (Denmark) and worked at KLA (Denmark). He ius now involved in anotehr postdoc at the Norwegian University of Sciene and Technology (Norway).
Dr Adrián Mota Babiloni
Adrián joined the Thermal and Electrical Systems Laboratory from January 2020 to August 2020. He was project manager for the UncorrelaTEd project and also provided research support to the TESLab team. He left TESLab to join ISTENER group at Universitat Jaume I to work on refrigeration systems.
Francisco Vidan
Francisco joined the Thermal and Electrical Systems Laboratory from January to December 2019, while he was studying his Master in Industrial Engineering. During his period with us he was involved in the development of new characterisation methods for thermoelectric devices.
Dr. Nuria Vicente Agut
Nuria joined the Thermal and Electrical Systems Laboratory from January to October 2019. She worked on the development of new solid-liquid thermoelectric systems in the OutLattice project.
