Professor Luis Martinez-Salamero is a world-renowned expert in the field of power electronics, and has forged a strong scientific partnership with the teams at LAAS-CNRS, notably through the supervision and exchange of doctoral students and researchers, as well as numerous cross-border collaborative projects. He was awarded the Honoris Causa diploma from Toulouse III - Paul Sabatier University on June 18.

For almost 40 years, Professor Luis Martinez-Salamero has forged research links with the LAAS-CNRS in the field of power converter control, and more recently in the study of energy conditioning. As a result, numerous theses, research contracts and scientific exchanges have been set up between his industrial electronics and control research group at the Tarragona engineering school and the automatic control and energy management and conversion teams at LAAS-CNRS.

To mark the award of his Doctor Honoris Causa degree from Université Toulouse III - Paul Sabatier, the LAAS-CNRS research teams organized a seminar in his honor, to take stock of and look ahead to a number of themes developed jointly or currently under development.
