He obtained his PhD in Electrical Engineering from the Federal University of Itajuba (UNIFEI), Brazil, in 2010. He was a Visiting Researcher at the University of Mälardalen in Västeras, Sweden, in 2020, collaborating with the SOFIA research group. He is a professor in the Doctoral Program in Electrical Engineering at ESPOL - Ecuador. He was an Adjunct Professor at UFJF between 2011-2019. Dr. Rendón has been an Associate Professor at UFJF since 2019 and Leader of the Electromechanical Energy Conversion Group (GCEME), www.ufjf.br/gceme, since 2016. Dr. Rendón has been the coordinator of the Hybrid-Electric Propulsion Laboratory - LAPHE at UFJF since 2019. He has supervised more than 30 students and published numerous articles in several research areas. Prof. Rendón has coordinated several research projects over the past 10 years. During this period, the following projects stand out: Hybrid-electric propulsion test bench and laboratory in partnership with EMBRAER and FAPEMIG, Modeling and simulation of unmanned aerial vehicles, Development of management and control techniques for hybrid aircraft propulsion applications. He is currently involved in an initiative to transform GCEME and UFJF into a technological development hub in the area of hybrid-electric and 100% electric propulsion for aircraft. He is developing cooperation with the Institute of Aeronautics and Space (IAE) and the Brazilian Air Force (FAB).
