Francisco Javier Meca Meca

Francisco Javier Meca Meca is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electronics at the Universidad de Alcalá. He holds a Ph.D. from the same institution (2001), with a thesis titled Medida de temperatura sin contacto con alta velocidad de respuesta supervised by Dr. Manuel Ramón Mazo Quintas and Dr. Francisco Javier Rodríguez Sánchez. His research focuses on electronics engineering applied to renewable energy systems, sensor technology, and control systems, particularly in thermal measurement, infrared systems, and robotics localization. He is a member of the GEISER research group, dedicated to electronic engineering for renewable energy applications.

Key research interests include developing sensor systems for industrial monitoring, thermal infrared sensing for aerospace applications (e.g., Mars 2020 mission), and FPGA-based control systems for power electronics. His work integrates signal processing techniques with hardware implementation, emphasizing real-time systems and embedded electronics. Notable contributions span thermal drift compensation in transimpedance amplifiers, phase-based positioning for mobile robots, and optimal anchor placement algorithms for wireless networks.

Publications highlight advancements in infrared positioning systems, predictive current control for power converters, and stability analysis of active power filters. His research bridges theoretical modeling with practical applications in renewable energy, industrial automation, and space technology. Ongoing work likely explores sensor fusion, energy-efficient control systems, and smart environmental monitoring.
