Óscar de Francisco Ortiz

PhD in Industrial Technologies Engineering from Technical University of Cartagena (SPAIN) - 2020
Assessment of teaching: number of five-year periods assessed positively: 1
Assessment of research: number of six-year periods assessed positively: 1


After an initial research stage at the Fraunhofer Institute (Stuttgart, Germany), he developed his professional career for over a decade in the industrial sector, mainly in the aeronautics field, holding leadership positions at companies such as MTorres, CTI Systems, and Segula Technologies. During this period, he led numerous engineering and industrial automation projects for clients including Airbus, Boeing, Embraer, EADS, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman.

Since 2017, he has been active in university teaching, first at the University Centre of Defence (Ministry of Defence) at the General Air Academy, and since 2021 as a full-time professor at UPCT. He has taught in several undergraduate programs, including Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Product Design and Development Engineering, and Industrial Electronics and Automation Engineering, as well as in the master's programs in Industrial Engineering and Industry 4.0. He has supervised over 50 bachelor¿s and master's theses, many of them linked to real projects or collaborations with industry. He was recognized as a Reference Professor by UPCT in 2021 and 2023.

His main research lines focus on the development of low-cost micropositioning systems based on computer vision, additive manufacturing, micromachining, and the application of nanomaterials in industrial and biotechnological environments. He has published in high-impact journals and presented at leading international conferences such as Euspen, MESIC, and IMES. He serves as reviewer and scientific committee member for journals such as Sensors, Applied Sciences, Machine Vision and Applications, and Advanced Manufacturing.

He has coordinated over ten technology transfer projects with entities such as the Spanish National Police, Puertas Padilla, and Limbium, as well as two industry-sponsored chairs (Padilla Innova and kaiTech Grupo Fuertes). He also serves as faculty advisor for the UPCTMakers and MotoUPCT student teams, promoting interdisciplinary collaboration, technological entrepreneurship, applied innovation, and the dissemination of engineering's social impact.
