Abbreviated CV

I Graduated in Chemical Engineering at the Faculty of Science and Technology (FCT) of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) in 2009. Afterwards, I obtained my MsC in Chemical Engineering and Sustainable Development in 2010, and joined the Catalytic Processes and Waste Valorization research group to carry out the Doctoral Thesis (granted by the Basque Government) entitled "Innovations in the dimethyl ether synthesis process in a single-stage with CO2 sequestration", defended in 2014 with a Cum Laude qualification. Subsequently, I got a postdoctoral fellowship from the UPV/EHU for doctors’ specialization until 2015. Since 2015 to 2022 I worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the group, and also as a teacher in various subjects in the Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology degrees. During this period, I have participated in several projects (funded by the UPV/EHU, Basque Government, Spanish Government and private companies) as a member of the PROCAT-VARES consolidated research group. Since 2022 I am an Assistant Professor in the department of Chemical Engineering.

Currently, my teaching duties focus on the subjects Biotechnological Process Engineering and Chemical Engineering Experimentation I (both in Basque and Spanish) within the Bachelor's Degree in Chemical Engineering and Integrated Biotechnology Laboratory in Biotechnology Degree. In parallel, I continue my research work, which is primarily oriented toward supervising PhD theses related to catalytic processes for CO₂ valorization and the production of fuels through petroleum-alternative pathways. Particularly, on the synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) and the generation of high value-added compounds (olefins, aromatics, gasoline); including innovations in catalyst design, catalyst deactivation, and fixed-bed reactors with hydrophilic membranes. This research activity has resulted in ~50 publications in indexed journals to date and an h-index of 23.
