Celia Sobrino is an associate professor in the Thermal and Fluids Engineering Department at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M). She received a doctorate in engineering in 2008 and held a postdoc position at TU Delft. Her PhD thesis focused on the hydrodynamics of fluidized beds. During her PhD, she was a visiting researcher at the University of British Columbia, where she worked on industrial turbulent fluidized beds. After the PhD she worked as a postdoctoral researcher at TU Delft on an EU project related to biomass combustion led by the Energy research Centre of the Netherlands. Her current research interests include concentrating solar energy, thermal energy storage and heat transfer. She has supervised two PhD theses and is currently supervising an industrial doctorate on 3D printed heat pipes, a PhD thesis on novel materials for use in high temperature and extreme conditions, and a PhD thesis on the thermomechanical study of molten salt solar receivers for concentrating solar power plants. She coordinates the TOPCSP project, a doctoral network of the Horizon Europe's MSCA.
