Dr. María Jesús Gómez has been Visiting professor of the Mechanical Engineering Department of the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid since 2014, when she obtained a PhD in Mechanical Engineering. She graduated as an Industrial Engineer in 2008 at the same University. In her Doctoral Thesis she has developed a methodology for detecting defects in rorating mechanical elements using sophisticated signal processing techniques, such as the Wavelet transform.

Her research line continues focusing on the detection of defects in rotating mechanical elements, specifically in shafts, participating in several projects in the field of railway industry. She currenlty teaches in the field of machine theory and mechanisms.
