Doctor in Thermal Engineering by the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). He has worked in ‘SENER Ingeniería y Sistemas’ and ‘IDOM Ingeniería y Consultoría’, where he has participated in two combined cycle projects as a mechanical engineer. In 2006 he joined the UPV/EHU as an associate professor in the Department of Thermal Machines and Motors (now Energy Engineering Department) where he has taught 'Heat Transfer', 'Thermodynamics', 'Thermal Engineering' and 'Thermoelectric Power Plants'. Since 2008 he has been part of the research group ENEDI (Energy in Buildings - ENergética en la EDIficación) of the UPV/EHU. He has directed 2 national research projects for the RETOS call and has actively participated in another 20 projects on energy efficiency in buildings and in 3 projects on energy efficiency in industry. In the same way, he has participated in various contracts with companies related to the development of construction elements that minimize the energy demand of buildings and has carried out several audits and technical reports on energy efficiency in the industry. These works have been the basis of more than 25 publications in indexed international journals, more than 6 international book chapters and more than 30 presentations in various national and international conferences.
