Joaquín Moreno Marchal is a full Professor at the University of Cádiz in the Department of Automation, Electronics, Architecture and Computer Networks Engineering , specializing in Electronics Technology . His career integrates technical depth in industrial supervision systems with a strong commitment to fostering creativity and innovation in engineering education and practice. Education: Ph.D. in Engineering, University of Seville, 1993. Thesis: Qualitative supervision techniques applied to marine engines , supervised by Dr. Eduardo Fernández Camacho. Research Interests: Professor Moreno Marchal’s research bridges two major domains: (1) qualitative supervision and intelligent monitoring of complex industrial processes—particularly marine engines and turbocharger systems—using expert systems and qualitative simulation; and (2) creativity and innovation management in engineering, encompassing methodologies, organizational systems, interdisciplinary collaboration between arts and humanities, and the design of educational experiences that cultivate innovative mindsets. His work has continuously evolved from foundational studies on knowledge representation for supervision tasks in the 1990s to contemporary explorations of how innovation ecosystems and cultural factors shape engineering creativity. Publication Trends: Across four decades, his scholarly output demonstrates a clear transition from deeply technical studies on qualitative process supervision (early 1990s) toward broader investigations of innovation systems, creative engineering methods, and educational reform (post-2000). Notably, 2017 alone saw five major contributions concentrating on creativity and innovation theory, comparative national innovation systems, and practical handbooks, evidencing a mature research agenda aimed at systematizing and disseminating innovation practices within engineering communities.
