Jordy Santana-Villamar received his bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Escuela Superior Politécnica del Litoral (ESPOL) in 2020, obtaining a diploma of distinction in research. He was a teaching assistant at the early stage of his bachelor degree on subjects such as calculus, electromagnetics physics, and statistics. He then obtained a position as an assistant researcher during his last four semesters. Currently, he is a junior researcher at the Center of Renewable and Alternative Energy at the Escuela Superior Politécnica del Litoral (ESPOL). His area of research is electrochemical tests to evaluate the performance in fuel cells and redox flow batteries applying EIS technique, sweep current, linear, and circular sweep voltammetry;   expanded graphite-resin composite materials development with secondary fillers for bipolar plates; and modeling on transport phenomena. In addition, he has published several scientific papers in leading journals including the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, Journal of Electrochemical Society, and Energies. He has also participated in congresses, international conferences, and meetings to spread his research work. He recently worked as an organizer of the Congress of Research, Development, and Innovation in Renewable Energies (CIDiER), Guayaquil, Ecuador.

 

Ángel Encalada-Dávila received his bachelor’s degree in Mechatronics Engineering in 2021 from Escuela Superior Politécnica del Litoral (ESPOL). He is currently working as a data scientist for  an international data analytics company. He also has solid experience in the software industry for ATMs. Furthermore, he collaborates as a data scientist at the Control, Modeling, Identification, and Applications Research Group (CoDAlab) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Barcelona, Spain.
