Julian Colorado is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electronics Engineering at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana. He completed his Ph.D and M.S. in Robotics at Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, Spain, where he studied the development of novel flight controllers (GNC) for a diverse category of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, including quadrotors and highly-articulated morphing wing drones inspired by the biomechanics of bats. He was a visiting research fellow at Brown University, USA (2010-2011), where he studied how to integrate smart-actuators based on Shape Memory Alloys to control wing modulation in a bat-like robot. Julian Colorado research interests include Aerial Robotics, Bio-inspired robotics, Guidance-Navigation-Control.

Julian Colorado has more than 11 years of expertise working on engineering-related projects funded by the industry and governmental agencies in Europe, USA and Colombia. He leads scientific researchcand consulting services in the areas of robotics applied to: precision agriculture, surveillance, exploration/monitoring and bioengineering. Also, on biologically-inspired systems: locomotion, biomechanics, smart actuation and control. He is author of more than 50 scientific papers published in ISI-JCR indexed journals, peer-reviewed conference proceedings and book chapters. Go to.
