Jacobo Porteiro Fresco

Jacobo Porteiro Fresco serves as a Full Professor at the University of Vigo's School of Industrial Engineering, holding a permanent position within the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Machines and Thermal and Fluid Motors. His institutional affiliations include:

• Research Center: Center for Research in Technologies, Energy and Industrial Processes (CITETI)
• Research Group: Energy Technology Group (GTE, EM1)
• Campus: Vigo

His academic background features a PhD from the University of Vigo (2005) with doctoral research focused on biomass combustion modeling. His thesis, "Development of a static and dynamic model of biomass particle combustion in fixed bed with experimental contrast. Application to a low-power boiler," was supervised by Dr. José Luis Míguez Tabarés and Dr. Enrique Granada Álvarez. This foundational work established his expertise in thermal systems simulation and experimental validation.

Prof. Porteiro Fresco's research centers on Energy Technology and Thermal Engineering, with specialized focus on Combustion dynamics, Biomass conversion processes, and Boiler Systems optimization. His work integrates computational modeling with experimental thermal analysis, particularly for small-scale industrial applications. The Energy Technology Group (GTE) he participates in drives innovation in sustainable energy solutions through the CITETI research framework.

While no scientific awards or student advisees are documented in the source material, his ongoing engagement with the GTE research group indicates active contributions to industrial energy processes. His departmental specialization in thermal and fluid systems aligns with the group's mission to advance energy efficiency and renewable integration in industrial contexts.
