About

José Manuel Olmos Noguera

PhD in the Structural, Foundation and Materials Engineering program from Polytechnic university of Madrid (SPAIN) - 2016

He holds a PhD in Structural Engineering, Foundations and Materials from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) and a degree in Civil Engineering from the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV).

Over the course of his academic career, he has taught in the Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering, the Master's Degree in Civil Engineering, and the Master's Degree in BIM Methodology at the Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena (UPCT). His current teaching is primarily focused on the Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering and the Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Design Engineering and Product Development at UPCT.

His academic profile is complemented by more than 20 years of professional experience in the design and consultancy of building and civil engineering structures. He has extensive expertise in BIM-based structural design workflows and in the use of specialised software for structural modelling, analysis, and design. He has supervised more than 40 Bachelor's and Master's theses and final degree projects.

His research focuses on the dynamics of railway bridges on high-speed lines. He is the first author of six papers published in JCR Q1 journals and has contributed 15 papers to international conferences. He is also the author of four books and three book chapters. In addition, he regularly acts as a reviewer for leading JCR Q1 journals, including Structures, Engineering Structures, Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering, Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, and International Journal of Mechanical Sciences, among others.

He has participated as co-Principal Investigator of the UPCT team in four European Erasmus+ projects focused on BIM and Digital Twins, serving as project co-Principal Investigator in two of them.

Between 2022 and 2024, he completed three research stays at the CONSTRUCT research group of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto. His work there focused on railway traffic safety on high-speed railway bridges under wind action.

In November 2025, he was accredited by ANECA for the position of Associate Professor.

In July 2026, his first six-year research period (Sexenio de Investigación) was officially recognised by CNEAI and UPCT.
