Jose Manuel VegaProfessor Vega currently holds a Professorship in Applied Mathematics at the School of Aerospace Engineering of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM). He received a Master and a PhD, both in Aeronautical Engineering at UPM, and a Master in Mathmatics at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Along the years, his research has focused on applied mathematics at large, including applications to physics, chemistry, and aerospace and mechanical engineering. The main topics were connected to the analysis of partial differential
equations, nonlinear dynamical systems, pattern formation, water waves, reaction–diffusion problems, interfacial phenomena, and, more recently, reduced order models and data processing tools. The latter two topics are related, precisely, to the content of this book. Specifically, he developed (with Dr. Le Clainche as collaborator) the higher order dynamic mode decomposition method, and also several extensions, including the spatio-temporal Koopman decomposition method. His research activity resulted in the publication of more than one hundred and twenty research papers in first class referred journals, as well as around forty publications resulting from scientific meetings and conferences.
