Projects

Selected applied R&D and engineering projects across real industrial and research contexts. Each entry separates what the project does from what Emilio does in it, and an organization's participation from his own: these are different facts with different evidence.

    Emilio's participation
    March 2026 – Present

    About the project

    Intelligent systems for autonomous wind power plant operations.

    Emilio's contribution

    Responsible for driving COGTWIN, the polyglot database developed with the University of Granada team, towards production use.
