Sergio Cicero
Research professor. * Head of Research
Road, Channel and Port Engineer from UC (2002, Honors), Doctor from the same university (2007, Extraordinary Doctorate Award and UC Social Council Award) and Bachelor of Business Administration and Management (2007, UC). He entered the LADICIM in 2002, and during his predoctoral stage he conducted research stays at the Swinden Technology Center (Rotherham, United Kingdom) and at the GKSS Forschungszentrum (Geesthacht, Germany). In 2010 he acceded to the position of Professor of the University, carrying out most of his teaching activity at the School of Civil Engineers of the UC. He is a principal investigator in projects of the National Plan, of the VII Framework Program of the EU and of collaboration with companies.
Since 2008 he is Managing Director of the Leonardo Torres-Quevedo Foundation.
LINES OF INVESTIGATION
