Professor Miguel A.F. Sanjuán (MAE), a member of the Physics and Engineering sciences section of Academia Europaea since 2017 and a Physics Professor at the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (URJC) in Madrid, Spain, has been elected as a new as a new Foreign Academician of the Serbian Academy of Nonlinear Sciences (SANS) during the plenary session held on April 3, 2024, at its headquarters in Belgrade. The mission of SANS is to promote the development of nonlinear sciences in Serbia through the coordination of fundamental and applied research, connecting scientists from diverse fields, organizing scientific events, and through publications. Nonlinearity is omnipresent and studied across a wide range of scientific disciplines. Membership in SANS includes regular academicians and corresponding members, both national and international, recognized for their outstanding contributions to nonlinear sciences.

Professor Miguel A.F. Sanjuán leads the research group in Nonlinear Dynamics, Chaos Theory, and Complex Systems at the URJC, having contributed to pioneering work in various areas of this specialty and promoting the development of this research area in multiple facets. Throughout his professional career, he has served as Principal Investigator in more than 20 competitively funded research projects and has supervised over 20 doctoral theses. He holds the title of Honorary Professor at several universities in China and has been a Visiting Researcher at various European, American, and Asian universities. He is also a Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science at the University of Tokyo and a Fulbright Scholar at the Institute for Physical Science and Technology at the University of Maryland. In 2020, he was the first recipient of the Chieh-Su Hsu Award for distinguished researchers in Nonlinear Dynamics and Control. In 2022, he was also the first recipient of the James Yorke Award for his significant contributions to Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos.

He serves as a scientific evaluator for numerous international research agencies and holds the position of Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Applied Nonlinear Dynamics and Editor of the Book Series on Complexity, Nonlinearity, and Chaos at the prestigious World Scientific publishing house.

Currently, he is the Editor-in-Chief of the Spanish Physics Royal Society, a member of the EPJ Scientific Advisory Committee of the European Physical Society, a member of the Scientific Advisory Council of the GADEA for Science Foundation (CCA-FGC) in the area of Physical Sciences and Universe. Additionally, he is an elected full academician of the Royal Academy of Exact, Physical, and Natural Sciences of Spain, and a foreign member of the Academy of Sciences of Lithuania.
