Abbreviated CV

Graduated in Chemistry (spec., Industrial Chemistry, 1988) and Ph.D in Chemistry (1992) by the UPV/EHU, with Extraordinary awards. Lecturer (since 1992) and Professor (since 2004) in the Chemical Engineering Department (UPV/EHU).

Research line focused on the development of catalytic processes of interest in energy and environment, specifically, the transformation of oxygenated compounds (dimethyl ether , methanol, ethanol, bio-oil) into fuels, chemicals (light olefins) or hydrogen. The topics studied include: selection of catalysts (acids, metallic and bifunctional); analysis of their deactivation and regeneration; kinetic modelling and; reactor design and simulation.

I have taken part in more than 50 Public Research Projects (main researcher in 7 projects from the National R&D&i Program), and 25 Contract with companies (5 as main researcher).

Head of Department (2006/12), Responsible of Ph. D Program (2007/12), Responsible of Master Program (2007/08-currently), Coordinator of Chemical Technology (in ANEP and AEI, 2015-2018), and Responsible of Energy (in the panel Energy and Transport, AEI (2018-2019)).

QUALITY INDICES: - 5 Six-year Research periods and 1 Six-year Transfer period. More than 180 articles in indexed journals (>85% in Q1 journal in JCR). H index=60 (Scopus). Director of 21 Ph. D Thesis (5 with Extraordinary Award and 9 with International Distinction). More than 250 Communications in National and International Conferences.
