Took his PhD thesis in Mondragon Unibertsitatea, entitled A Novel Procedure Based on 2D Finite Element Modeling and Orthogonal Cutting Tests to Predict Machinability and Tool Wear Evolution Considering the Microstructure Effect of Lamellar Ferrite-Pearlite Steels (2012-2018). Since them, he has been a member of the High Performance Machining research group of Mondragon Unibertsitatea, working in topics such as the fundamental study and modelling of the cutting process, material characterization in terms of microstructure and flow stress, and infrared thermography. He has worked in research projects in closed collaboration with industry and partially founded by local, regional, national and European governments. The results arising from these projects, have been published in journals (five in the last year) and presented in worldwide known manufacturing conferences.
