**Meet the editors**

Dr. Luis Romeral Martínez received his electrical engineering degree and PhD degree from the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) in 1985 and 1995, respectively. In 1988 he joined the Electronic Engineering Department of the UPC, where he is currently Associate Professor. His research interests include electric machines and powertrains, power electronics converters

and energy management, variable-speed drive systems and fault detection algorithms. He has supervised and taught postgraduate courses on PLCs, electrical drives and motion control and sensors and actuators. He has authored more than 300 peer-reviewed scientific papers published in technical journals and conference proceedings, and 12 PhD dissertations have been completed under his supervision over the last 10 years. He participates as a partner in and is responsible for European Union-funded projects and research projects funded by Spanish agencies. He has also participated as a researcher or project manager for research and development projects funded by local private companies in the areas of electromobility, control automation, energy management and supervision and data acquisition. He leads the MCIA Research Center (https://www.mcia. upc.edu), which conducts major research activities concerning sustainable mobility, energy efficiency and industrial supervision and optimisation. Dr. Romeral is member of the European Power Electronics and Drives Association, the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society and the International Federation of Automatic Control.

Dr. Miguel Delgado Prieto was born in Barcelona, Spain, in 1983. He received his PhD degree in Electronics Engineering from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, UPC, Barcelona, Spain, in 2012. Since 2008 he has been with the MCIA Research Center and with the Electronic Engineering Department, both positions at UPC. Currently, he is involved in research, teaching, technology

transfer and project management activities around condition-based monitoring and the internet of things for the industry, energy and transport sectors, in which he leads research and development projects.
