Javier Corral Saiz holds an M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from the School of Engineering in Bilbao. He began his professional career in 2004 at the Inmotion Unit of ROBOTIKER-Tecnalia Technology Centre, while simultaneously pursuing his Ph.D. at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). In 2008, he joined the COMPMECH Research Group, where he continues to contribute as a researcher and academic. In 2010, he became a full-time lecturer and, then, he obtained his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering in 2011 and was appointed Assistant Professor in 2015. Since 2020, he holds the position of Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at UPV/EHU. His research interests include the structural behavior of parallel kinematic manipulators, dynamics, and vibration analysis. He has worked extensively on ultra-flexible manipulators and is currently focused on the application of mechanical engineering principles to the development of medical devices for balance assessment. In addition to his research and teaching activities, he leads the Formula Student Bizkaia project, coordinating a team of approximately 50 students each year in the design, manufacturing, and validation of an electric single-seater race car. The team participates annually in two international inter-university competitions, applying a challenge-based learning approach that fosters innovation, teamwork, and real-world engineering experience.
