Professor Francisco Javier Rey Martínez

 

Francisco Javier Rey Martínez founded in 2005 the Research Group Thermal Energy Engineering and is its director since then. He is member of the University of Valladolid for more than 25 years where he is nowadays professor at the Department of Thermal Engineering and Fluid-mechanics.

He is founding member of the regional delegation of ATECYR (Spanish Technical Association for HVAC and Refrigeration) for Castile and Leon. He also co-founded in 1993 the Regional Center for Energy Saving and Diversification (CADE). From 1999 till 2001 he has been technical assessor of Energy Projects for the European Union and he became member in 2000 of the National Strategy of Heat Pumps. He is also member of different scientific committee as ATECYR (from 1995), EUROTHERM (1994-2000), Konwakai International DAIKIN (2007-2010) and for multiple international congresses.

As researcher, he has been leading diverse national and regional R&D projects, as well as participating in international projects as the Ibero-American network GEESOS. He has published more than 100 articles from national and international journals, as well as books and technical guides.

His teaching activity covers degree courses at the High Technical School of Industrial Engineering, several master and doctorate courses throughout Spain and the management of the postgraduate course Expert in HVAC Engineering and Renewable Energies in the University of Valladolid.

He has been awarded several times, receiving, for example, the Carlos García Ocejo Price for the Quality of Building Services (2000), the Renewable Energies National Award (2006) or the Environment National Award (2007).
