Dr. Jesús R. Jiménez-Octavio is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the School of Engineering (ICAI) of Comillas Pontifical University. He specializes in computational mechanics, biomechanics, road safety, and dentistry, with a focus on finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamics. As Academic Deputy Director at ICAI, he bridges academic leadership with multidisciplinary research. PhD in Industrial Engineering (2009), Comillas Pontifical University BSc in Industrial Engineering (2004), Comillas Pontifical University Research Interests : His work spans biomedical engineering (computational biomechanics, dental tissue characterization), railway systems (catenary-pantograph dynamics, wind load modeling), and automotive safety (seatbelt design, e-scooter injury analysis). He integrates numerical methods with experimental validation. Publication Trends : Recent articles emphasize biomechanics (vertebral injury modeling, dental stress analysis), railway engineering (dynamic cable systems), and safety simulation (impact scenarios). Cross-disciplinary themes include pandemic mobility analysis and AI in transportation safety. Scientific Awards : Honorary Distinction for Best Doctoral Thesis in Engineering (2010) Talgo Award for Technological Innovation (2010) 3rd National Sika Award for Adhesion Technology (2004) Multiple Erasmus and Marie Curie Fellowships Grants and Projects : Leads research on e-scooter safety , dental implant biomechanics , and high-speed railway dynamics . Collaborates with institutions like Mapfre CESVIMAP, European Rail Agency, and Mercedes-Benz Technology Group. Labs and Teams : Co-founder of the MOBIOS Lab (Mobility, Biomechanics, and Health Research), integrating AI, urban mobility, and injury prevention studies.
