**About the Editors**

#### **Francisco-Ronay**

Francisco-Ronay received his Ph.D. degree in automatic control from the University of Lorraine, France, in 2014. He has been a lecturer at the National Technological Institute of Mexico, IT Tuxtla Gutierrez since 2008. He is part of the Editorial Board of the ´ *Mathematical and Computational Applications* and *Int. J. of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science* journals. He is the author/co-author of more than 50 research papers published in ISI Journals and several international conferences. He has led several funded research projects, and the funding for these projects comprises a mixture of sole investigator funding and collaborative grants. Furthermore, he collaborates with European universities, such as the University of Lorraine, University of Paris 2, University of Stavanger, and Polytechnique University of Catalonia. His research interests are fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control based on convex LPV and Takagi-Sugeno models and their applications, and the extension of these techniques for the safety and management of UAV, mobile robots, and water distribution systems.

#### **Guillermo Valencia-Palomo**

Guillermo Valencia-Palomo was born in Merida, Mexico, in 1980. He received his Engineering degree in Electronics from the Tecnologico Nacional de M ´ exico-IT M ´ erida, Mexico, in 2003, and ´ his M.Sc. and PhD degrees in Automatic Control from the National Center of Research and Technological Development (CENIDET) in 2006 and the University of Sheffield, U.K., in 2010, respectively. Since 2010, Dr. Valencia-Palomo has been a Full-time (Tenured) Professor at Tecnologico ´ Nacional de Mexico-IT Hermosillo. He is the author/co-author of over 60 research papers published ´ in JCR-indexed journals and several international conferences. As a product of his research, he has one patent in commercial exploitation. He has led a number of funded research projects and the funding for these projects is comprised of a mixture of sole investigator funding, collaborative grants, and funding from industry. His research interests include predictive control, linear parameter varying systems, fault diagnosis, fault-tolerant control systems, and their applications in different physical systems.
