Description
Brief description of the Centre/Research Group
The work team represented by the César Martín-Gómez has been working for years on projects that involve the integration of building services and energy systems in complex architectonical cases. Building services here involve fire safety, water management, electricity, data networks, HVAC and renewable energies.
These research works include architecture and urbanism, history and biology, learning and complex buildings. It is not a mess but a puzzle where the keyword is integration.
The UNESCO research lines are: 241109 - Regulation of human temperature; 330500 - Construction technology; 330503 - Large buildings and skyscrapers; 330506 - Civil engineering; 330517 - Industrial and commercial buildings; 330537 - Urban planning; 330800 - Environmental engineering and technology; 3322 - Energy technology; 332900 - Urban planning; 550601 - History of architecture; 550624 - History of technology; 580100 - Educational theory and methods.
Since 2009, the team has participated in 9 research projects: 5 private, 3 regional, 2 national and 1 European, with an income of over 800,000 euros.
The activity of the team has allowed the publication of more than 33 articles in indexed journals, 24 books or book chapters, and 56 collaborations in Congresses.
Project description
We are looking for a motivated candidate who wish to develop a holistic delivery system with UAVs in high density urban environments, where façades can interact with drones, allowing the reception and delivery to the house itself.
The proposal includes an element which can receive the package and maintain it in temperature-controlled conditions until the client arrives home. The system implies a coordinated challenge among several fields: electronics, informatics, UAVs, delivery companies, but also thermal control, architecture… The aim is to achieve an implemented delivery system which will avoid traffic jams and pick-up points, thus facilitating delivery not only for the companies involved but also for the customers, who will only have to install the final container on the façade.
The researcher would apply for a MSCA-Individual fellowship (deadline 09 September 2020). If successful, the researcher would get a full-time research position at University of Navarra, one of the top rated universities in Spain (Number 1 in employability) for a period ranging 1-3 years depending on the subtype of grant and the interests of the applicant.
Research Areas
