Óscar Lucía, Full Professor, IEEE Fellow, and President of the Young Academy of Spain, has built a solid teaching and research career in the field of power electronics with domestic, industrial, and biomedical applications, achieving high-impact scientific results, significant technology transfer to the industrial sector, and active participation in leading international scientific forums. He has more than 15 years of teaching experience in digital and power electronics, has supervised 6 Ph.D. theses and over 75 final degree projects, and has held several academic coordination positions in the Department of Electronic Engineering and Communications, as well as in the Master’s and Doctoral Programs in Electronic Engineering. Dr. Lucía has carried out research stays in Germany and the USA, and he regularly serves as a reviewer and evaluator of researchers and research projects at national and international levels.
His research activity has resulted in more than 125 publications in JCR journals (>50 Q1), 5 book chapters, and over 200 conference papers, all with high impact (+10,000 citations, h-index 39 WoS and 46 GS). His collaboration with industry has led to more than 75 patent families in use, with over 150 international extensions. Since May 2025, he has been the Director of the TDG Ibernavitas Chair on Energy Efficiency and Sustainability. His work has been recognized with 3 research evaluation periods (“sexenios”) and 1 transfer evaluation period, the maximum possible. Dr. Lucía also contributes to leading scientific forums, serving as Associate Editor for several of the most prestigious journals in the field: IEEE TIE, IEEE IEM (Society News Editor), IEEE TPEL, and IEEE OJIES. He has participated in and led competitive projects (over 20) and research contracts (over 35) with major industry players, including BSH Electrodomésticos España, Daimler, Panasonic, LEAR, Bosch Power Tools, VoltMed, Pendulum, CNRS, and Angiodynamics, among others, with a total budget exceeding €5M.
Dr. Lucía has received the “Agustín de Betancourt y Molina” Young Researchers Award (2021) from the Royal Academy of Engineering, the IEEE Rudolf Chope Research & Development Award (2024), the Aragón Investiga “Ramón y Cajal” Award, the BBVA Leonardo Grant (2021), and is a full member of the Young Academy of Spain. He has also received several other recognitions, including the Extraordinary End-of-Degree Award (2006), the Extraordinary Doctorate Award (2010), the BSH-UZ Industrial Innovation Award (2009), the IEEE APEC11 Outstanding Presentation Award (2011), the IEEE Best Paper Award in the prestigious IEEE Industrial Electronics Magazine (2018), the BSH-UZ Innovation in Business Award (2018), the SAMCA Chair Multidisciplinary Innovation Award (2021), and the IEEE CPE/Powereng Best Paper Award (2023). In addition, he is co-author of the most cited paper of 2017 in IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics and the most cited article in the field of induction heating. His research group (GEPM) has been repeatedly recognized by Clarivate (formerly Thomson Reuters) as a global leader in applied electronics for household appliances, and Dr. Lucía is regularly listed in Stanford’s global ranking of the top 2% most relevant researchers.
