Sonia Martínez Díaz is a Spanish mechanical engineer whose research applies control theory to the coordinated motion of robot swarms and mobile wireless sensor networks.[1] She is a professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of California, San Diego.[2]

Education and career

Martínez was the first in her family to study at a university, the University of the Basque Country.[3] She has a licenciatura in mathematics from the University of Zaragoza,[4] awarded in 1997,[5] and she completed a Ph.D. in engineering mathematics at Charles III University of Madrid in 2002,[2][3] working with Manuel de León Rodríguez of the Institute of Mathematical Sciences.[1][6]

After working as a visiting assistant professor at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, she came to the US on a Fulbright Fellowship for postdoctoral research with Francesco Bullo at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign and University of California, Santa Barbara.[2] She took her faculty position at the University of California, San Diego in 2005,[2][3] and became a full professor there in 2014.[5]

Recognition

In 2018, Martínez was named an IEEE Fellow, affiliated with the IEEE Control Systems Society and IEEE Robotics and Automation Society, "for contributions to geometric mechanics and control".[7]
