Biography

Researcher with Degree in Civil Engineering (2008) at Universidad de Burgos (UBU). After 2 years working as Project Manager in the construction of an underground line in Barcelona, I moved to Materials Research field, completing a Master in Materials Engineering. Meanwhile, I started collaborating with a Scholarship in the Structural Integrity Research Group at UBU (2011). I obtained the International PhD cum laude in Science and Technology of Novel Materials (2016) at the University of Sevilla (Spain) in collaboration with the R&D department of the Spanish company Abengoa. Since then, I have authored 11 publications in international peer-reviewed journals, and I have contributed to 25 presentations of conferences around the world, as well as in different International Meetings and Symposia as invited speaker. Moreover, I have participated as researcher on three research projects funded by different national or international sources and I am author of 1inventions, registered as patent. During my thesis, I developed high-temperature solar selective coatings for solar thermal central receivers and I participated in the EU H2020 RISE project “Framework of Innovation for Engineering of New Durable Solar Surfaces (FRIENDS2, GA-645725)”. This Europeuan project allowed me to perform several research stays in internationally renowned research centres such as the Helmoltz Zentrum Dresden Rossendorf (Germany), or Cranfield University (UK) among others.
