Daniel Alejandro Morales Sandoval was born in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. He is a PhD student at Cardiff University, where he conducts work on the modelling, control and economic dispatch of integrated energy systems (IESs)—supported by fundamentals of heat transfer.

He received his BSc degree in Electronics and Automation from the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León (UANL, Autonomous University of Nuevo Leon), Nuevo Leon, Mexico (2014) and his MSc degree in Aeronautical Engineering from UANL (2017). His industrial experience includes engineering projects in global automotive companies (2017-2019).

Daniel’s research interests include the decarbonisation of the energy sector and, more specifically, the modelling and control of IESs and how to conduct optimisation to reduce operational costs and minimise carbon emissions. Upon completion of his PhD studies, he intends to continue working on energy systems and undertake a career as a researcher.
