Professor Eloy Velasco Gómez

 

Eloy Velasco Gómez began his research career in 1989 after graduating in Chemical Sciences by the University of Valladolid, getting his PhD in Industrial Engineering in 1998. From 1995 is member of the Department of Thermal Engineering and Fluid-mechanics, where he is nowadays Professor.

His teaching activity is related to the field of heat and mass transfer, thermal engineering and HVAC systems. He also has participated in doctorate programs at the High Technical School of Industrial Engineering of the University of Valladolid, as well as in master courses in different Spanish Universities and expertise courses. He has co-supervised numerous doctoral theses, being the most of them developed within doctorate programs with quality mention.

His research lines cover energy recovery systems, evaporative cooling systems, thermal storage and radiant dissipation, Indoor Environment Quality, Energy Efficiency of Buildings and optimization of performance of thermal building services.

Resulting from his research activity, he has published several books, monographic and book chapters, more than 20 articles published in high-impact indexed journals and numerous contributions to national and international congresses.
