Angel Méndez Jaque is junior professor at the Department of Mecánica de Fluidos y Propulsión Aeroespacial at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Aeronáutica y del Espacio of the Technical University of Madrid, Spain.

Research

His main research field are the optical properties of nonlinear material. He is currently working on the simulation of photovoltaic trapping by a finite elements method. He has worked in the study of photovoltaic tweezers during the last years. He has also worked in the study of the light propagation throught nonlinear optical waveguides taking special attention to the light losses due to tunnel effects on waveguides produced by swift ion radiation.

He got his PhD in 2001 with the study of the photorefractive and electrooptic effects of lithium niobate waveguides generated by proton exhange.

Teaching

He is currently teaching at the bachelor degree of Aerospatial engineering, masters degree of Aerospatial engineering and masters degree of Environmental Engineering, where he teachs Fluids Mechancis, Mechanical Design and Susteinable desing theories.
