Full Professor of Inorganic Chemistry with a PhD (Chemistry) obtained in 1997 (University of Navarra) and five officially recognized six-year research periods, including one in technology transfer. He has supervised 11 completed PhD theses and currently supervises four ongoing doctoral theses, as well as more than 50 Master’s and undergraduate final projects. Since 2007, he has led the MATCH Research Group (Materials and Cultural Heritage). His research focuses on lime-based mortars and grouts for restoration and energy-efficient built heritage, including air and hydraulic lime mortars, polymer-modified binders, self-cleaning and depolluting materials (with photocatalysts), phase-change materials for improving the thermal performance of binding matrices, and the retention of toxic metals in cementitious matrices. He has been Principal Investigator of more than 20 competitive research projects and is co-author of over 100 scientific publications (h index 45, GS). Notable among these are publications in high-impact journals such as Cement and Concrete Research, Construction and Building Materials, Journal of Cleaner Production, Polymers, Sustainability... He is an active member of ICOMOS and RILEM, serves on several editorial boards, and is Section Editor-in-Chief of Sustainability (Sustainable Materials). He has extensive experience as an evaluator for national and international research agencies and as a reviewer for leading journals in materials and construction science.
