Eduardo A. Montero ( ORCID 0000-0001-9948-3767 ) received the M.S. degree in Industrial Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Madrid, Spain, in 1984 and the Ph.D. degree in Energy Engineering from the University of Valladolid, Spain, in 1996. He has been employed in the Department of Electromechanical Engineering at the University of Burgos, Spain, since 1984, being Assistant Professor since 1988 and Full Professor since 2017. Retired 2021. 

His academic expertise includes engineering thermodynamics, heat transfer and energy technology. His research interests are experimental determination of thermodynamic properties of fluid mixtures (biofuels, refrigerants), energy efficiency systems in buildings and thermal energy storage. For more than 37 years, he has developed international and national competitive research projects, and research services for industry. He is co-author of more than 65 articles published in high impact factor journals in the field of energy fluids.

He has been also member of the Innovation & Teaching Group on Active Learning and e-Learning in Engineering at the University of Burgos. Within this group, he has managed some projects and contributions on innovation and research in engineering education. Since 2016 he is also editor of the Engineering Board of MERLOT (Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching, www.merlot.org), supported by California State University.
