Javier Aracil Santonja.

Javier Aracil was born in Alcoy, Spain, in1941. He received the Industrial Engineering Ph. D. Degree (1969) and a Degree in Computing (1972) both from the Madrid Polytechnic University. From 1974–1976,he was the Dean of the Seville University School of Industrial Engineering. He was also Vice President of this University (1981–82) as well as Head of the Department of Electronics, Systems Engineering and Automatic Control (1987–93). He is currently Emeritus Professor at the University of Seville. His research interests were the application of dynamic systems to modelling and systems control. He has paid particular attention to the qualitative theory (bifurcations,global modes of behaviour, qualitative change, chaos...) of dynamical systems in connection with control problems. Furthermore he has worked on the control of non-linear systems, mainly with the problem of the inverted pendulum.
His main current interests are in Methodology and History of Engineering. He is the author of more than two hundred publications, including papers in technical journals, chapters in monographs and conference papers. He is a recipient of the Jay W.Forrester Award in 1986, the Award for Scientific and Technical Research in Andalucía (1990), the Honoree by the Sixth Biannual World Automation Congress WAC 2004, among many others awards. Prof. Aracil is Member of the Spanish Royal Academy of Engineering (1994) where he served as VicePresident (2011–2015), the Royal Academy of Medicine ofSeville (1982), and the Royal Academy of Sciences of Seville(1995).
