About Me

Who Am I?

Hi, I'm Julio Betancourt

Currently, I am a postdoctoral fellow at the UPB (Universität Paderborn) in the automatic control group (RAT). My work focuses on exploring the areas of control theory that enable giving theoretical and practical guarantees for robustness, stability and safety convergence.

I was born in Coahuila, Mexico, in 1991. I was a postdoctoral fellow at ONERA (The French Aerospace Lab), Toulouse between Septembre 2021 and August 2023. I received a PhD in Automatic and Robotics in 2021 from the University of Technology of Compiègne, France; a MSc in Automatic Control in 2016 from the CENIDET (National Center for Research and Technological Development), Cuernavaca, Mexico; and a BSc in Mechatronics in 2012 from the Polytechnic University of Victoria city, Mexico.

By leveraging technological innovations, scientific principles, and control algorithms, I aim at developing and improving robotics systems which are crucial for medical, agricultural and research applications. I truly believe that science and technology must help society.
