Chemical Engineer and PhD in Advanced Materials Engineering from the UPV/EHU in 2013, with a 6-month pre-doctoral stay at the Energy REsearch Center of the Netherlands and two post-doctoral stays at the ECNetherlands (2 months) and at NTNU (Trondheim, Norway) (3 months). I have collaborated in 24 research projects both with companies and with public subsidies from the autonomous community and the state. The lines of research developed along these projects have been: improvement of reactions enhanced by adsorption, purification of hydrogen in selective membranes, production of hydrogen from fossil and renewable sources, catalytic processes, hydrogen storage and biofiltration. I belong to a research group consolidated by the Basque government and with stable funding since 2007. I have 11 articles in international journals of the Journal Citation Report and I have participated in more than 30 contributions to conferences. As for the teaching staff, I teach since 2010 in the area of chemical engineering and environmental engineering. Some of the subjects taught in the master's and bachelor’s degree have been: chemistry, chemical reactors, chemical technology and chemical process design, among others. I have participated in 3 Educational Innovation Projects and I have collaborated in 11 participations in teaching congresses. I have directed 18 final degree projects, I have supervised 7 internship students and I am currently directing a doctoral thesis.
