Antonio Couce Casanova is a Professor in the Department of Industrial Engineering at the Ferrol Engineering Polytechnic University College, part of the University of A Coruña (UDC) in Spain. His teaching spans multiple engineering programs including Automation and Industrial Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and various Master's degrees in Energy Efficiency, Occupational Risk Prevention, and Textile Technology. His research interests focus on renewable energy systems , particularly hydrokinetic and wind turbine technologies, energy efficiency certification, and building energy simulation. His work bridges theoretical engineering principles with practical industrial applications, especially in marine energy and sustainable manufacturing processes. Analysis of his publication record reveals a strong focus on biomimetic approaches to energy generation , with significant contributions to vertical axis wind turbine design and hydrokinetic energy systems. His more recent work (2022-2024) emphasizes meteorological data processing for building energy simulation and optimization of renewable energy systems using computational methods. Earlier work (2010-2015) focused on control systems and foundational renewable energy technologies. Dr. Couce Casanova has supervised numerous final degree and master's theses since 2013, with projects spanning energy rehabilitation, facility design, and industrial process optimization. His research has been supported by entities including Siemens Industry Software, the Galician regional government (Consellería de Economía e Industria), and NORVENTO INGENIERÍA S.L. He is actively involved in the INNOVACIONES MARINAS research unit, focusing on marine energy applications and sustainable industrial processes. His work demonstrates a consistent trajectory from theoretical control systems toward practical renewable energy solutions with marine applications.
