Dr. María Jesús Gómez began her research career in 2008 within the Maqlab Research Group. Her PhD was developed under the FP7-EURAXLES project and centered on vibration-based condition monitoring of railway rotating machinery. This work earned her the 2016 Best Doctoral Thesis Award from the Spanish Association of Mechanical Engineering. Her current research focuses on advanced signal processing and classification techniques for fault detection and condition monitoring, aiming to integrate real-time diagnostic systems into railway operation. Dr. Gómez has participated in 19 research projects (10 competitively funded), including three as Principal Investigator, and has co-authored over 30 JCR-indexed journal articles (13 in Q1) and 8 book chapters, with more than 620 citations and an h-index of 17 (WoS). She holds four patents—two under exploitation by major railway companies—and has conducted international research stays in Italy and Sweden. She serves on the IFToMM Technical Committee for Rotordynamics and the Spanish Association of Mechanical Engineering.
