Professor Cutberto Romero Meléndez received a Ph.D. degree in Mathematics with the thesis entitled "Complexité métrique sous-Riemanniene" and the Diplôme d'etudes approfondies in Control Theory at the Université de Bourgogne, in Dijon, France, in 2004 and 2000, respectively. In 1995 he obtained a Master's degree in Mathematics at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM), Iztapalapa Campus with the thesis "Stability of differential equations with periodic coefficients and parametric resonance" and in 1985 he obtained a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics at the Escuela Superior de Física y Matemáticas of the Instituto Politécnito Nacional (IPN) with the thesis entitled "Decidable and undecidable theories". His research area is Geometric Control and its applications to Robotics.

Among the courses he has taught at UAM Azcapotzalco Campus, are: Introduction to Calculus, Complementary Mathematics, Differential Calculus, Integral Calculus, Ordinary Differential Equations, Calculus of Several Variables, and Logic.

His research interests include geometric control theory, optimal and nonlinear control theory, control of quantum mechanical systems, complexity in motion planning, and trajectory planning.

Dr. Romero is a Mexican Mathematical Society member, the President of the Organizing Committee of the Multidisciplinary Congress of Applied Sciences of Latin America, and received the Academic Award for Engineering Teaching in 1994. He is a member of the National System of Researchers, SNI, and PRODEP.
