Prieto Aneiros

A. Prieto has been an associate researcher at the Galician Center of Mathematical Research and Technology (CITMAga) since 2021. His research lines focus on developing and analyzing novel numerical methods and applying mathematical modelling strategies to compute and solve challenging problems in computational acoustics and structural mechanics, especially in complex systems in natural environments (such as coastal underwater regions) or equipment in industrial facilities. His recent work has been pioneering in the application of non-parametric data-driven mathematical techniques to the classification of the nature of seabed in coastal areas and the numerical characterization of porous absorbing materials for room acoustics and underwater cloaking purposes. During the last years, he has pursued different studies extending the classical partition of unity finite element method to heterogeneous materials and enabling its use for crack detection on multilayered materials. His engagement with the scientific community has been kept with a continuous contribution to national and international conferences on applied mathematics, not only with more than 65 conference contributions, but also with the organization of the seminar on industrial mathematics at CITMAga or mini-symposia in different international conferences such as ICIAM2019, WCCM2020, or the next ECCOMAS2024 and BAIL2024. In addition, he is an active reviewer for top peer-reviewed journals and research agencies, having done more than 150 reviews listed in ORCID. During his career, he has made a profound commitment to the social impact of his research activities on the solution of industrial problems and the potential contribution to current environmental challenges. In that manner, he has been the PI of different research projects, such as the regional project "Numerical simulation of high-frequency hydroacoustic problems in marine media - SIMNUMAR" (supported by Xunta de Galicia, 2013-2015), or the ongoing research project "Digital twins for fisheries with hydroacoustic data-driven techniques - DiFiHy" (Industrial Doctorate Programme funded by Xunta de Galicia in collaboration with the industrial partner Marine Instruments, 2022-2024). He has been the PI of one of the subprojects of the European MSCA Industrial Doctoral Network ROMSOC (2017-2022). Currently, he is the PI of the national project “Numerical characterization of coastal seabed environments using hydroacoustic data-driven techniques - NumSeaHy” (supported by Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación, 2023-2024), which has been recently endorsed by UNESCO as one of the projects of the 2021-2030 United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.
