Dr. Joaquín Alonso-Montesinos completed his PhD in Applied Science to the Environment at the University of Almeria (Spain) and postdoctoral studies from the same University. He is a member of the research group ‘Solar energetic resources, Climatology and Atmospheric physics’ at the University of Almer´ıa. From his experience, it is desirable to highlight his participation in different researching projects related to solar energy applications for solar power plants and photovoltaics plants, some of them funded by companies and others by the Spanish Competitiveness and Economy Ministry and co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund. In spite of his young age, he has published more than 30 JCR papers and has participated in national and international conferences related to solar radiation forecasting, using special devices such as satellite images and sky cameras.
