**About the Editors**

**Javier Cuadrado** graduated in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Navarra (Spain) in 1990. Afterwards, he worked as assistant professor at the School of Engineering of the same university and, under the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science, developed his doctorate under the supervision of Prof. Javier Garcia de Jalon at the department of Applied Mechanics of CEIT (Spain), a research center settled in the Basque Country, closely related to the University of Navarra. He received his Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from that university in 1993, having specialized in the computational analysis of multibody systems. In 1994, he joined the Mechanical Engineering department of the University of La Coruna (Spain) as Associate Professor, becoming ˜ a Full Professor in 2000. In March 2002, he founded the Laboratory of Mechanical Engineering (http://lim.ii.udc.es) in this department.

**Miguel A. Naya** graduated in Industrial Engineering in 1996 from the University of Vigo (Spain). He began his Ph.D. studies at University of La Coruna in 1996 where he was granted permission to ˜ work in the research project "Methods for Intelligent Real-TimeSimulation of Multibody Dynamics", funded by the U.S. Army Research Office and led by Prof. Eduardo Bayo. He became Assistant Professor in Mechanical Engineering at the same university in 1998 and, after obtaining his Ph.D. degree in June 2007, achieved the position of Associate Professor in 2009. He was Head of the Department of Industrial Engineering of the University of La Coruna between 2009 and 2013, and ˜ Secretary of this Deparment from 2013 to 2017. Currently, he is Head of the Department of Naval and Industrial Engineering of the University of La Coruna. His research is focused on the application of ˜ multibody dynamics to the simulation and control of cars.
