Demián García-Violini received the B.S. degree in Automation and Control Engineering from the National University of Quilmes (UNQ), Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 2010, and the Ph.D. degree in Engineering from the Buenos Aires Institute of Technology (ITBA) in 2015. His research focused on system identification, estimation, and control of complex dynamical systems, laying the foundations for his subsequent work at the interface between control theory and real-world applications.

He is currently a Researcher with the Department of Science and Technology at UNQ and with the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET), Argentina. In parallel, he is affiliated with the Centre for Ocean Energy Research (COER) at Maynooth University, Ireland, where he collaborates on international research projects related to marine renewable energy. His academic career is characterised by sustained involvement in interdisciplinary and international research environments, combining theoretical developments with experimental and data-driven methodologies.

Dr. García-Violini’s primary research interests lie in control theory and system identification, with particular emphasis on modelling, estimation, and control-oriented frameworks for wave energy conversion systems. His work addresses challenges associated with highly nonlinear, uncertain, and data-limited dynamical systems, with a strong focus on practical implementability and robustness. Within the ocean energy domain, he has contributed to the development of reduced-order models, estimation techniques, and control strategies aimed at improving performance, reliability, and energy capture in real operating conditions. In addition to his work in renewable energy systems, Dr. García-Violini has an active line of research in applied biomedical engineering. In this area, he has contributed to data-driven modelling, physiological system analysis, and signal processing applied to biomedical signals, leveraging system identification and control-theoretic tools to address problems arising in health-related applications. This cross-domain experience reflects his broader interest in transferring methodological advances across disciplines.

He has participated in and led research activities funded by national and international agencies and has collaborated extensively with academic and industrial partners in Europe and Latin America. His publication record includes peer-reviewed journal articles and conference contributions in control, system identification, renewable energy, and applied modelling.

Dr. García-Violini has served as Guest Editor for the IEEE Latin America Transactions and currently serves on its Editorial Board. In 2026, he joined the Editorial Board of the IEEE Journal on Emerging and Selected Topics in Circuits and Systems (JETCAS) as a Senior Editor. Through these roles, he actively contributes to the peer-review process and to maintaining high editorial standards within the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society. His professional activities reflect a strong commitment to interdisciplinary research, international collaboration, and the translation of theory into practice.
