Director of the POLQUITEX Research group, a consolidated research group recognized by the Catalunya Government (SGR-1028). I have been part of 5 Ministry Projects, two as IP. Through these projects, the POLQUITEX group was able to equip itself with equipment to start doing quality research, linked to new compounds with reinforcement of GTR (end-of-life tires), which currently has also been extended to biogenic waste. I have published 94 research articles (42% within Q1). A total of 5 of these articles have more than 200 citations and 2 of them exceed 400. According to Scopus, my h-index is 26 and the total number of citations is 2950. I have presented more than 110 papers in congresses and have participated as a speaker (1 time as plenary speaker and 12 times as invited speaker) in more than 50 congresses, mostly international. I have published 7 book chapters in the Royal Society of Chemistry, CRC Taylor, and Francis and in Intech. I have been advisor of 3 PhDs, and I am currently advising another 2 PhDs on industrial elastomer devulcanization processes using microwaves. I have advised 55 PFG and 20 PFM both to UPC students and to Erasmus students from other European universities. I am a member of the Editorial Board of the Polymers (MDPI) journal with an IF of 4,326 (Q1 in Polymer Science), Editor of the International Scholarly Research Network ISRN Materials Science Journal, and referee of multiple journals both on materials and polymers.
