Abbreviated CV

Chemical Engineer by the University of The Basque Country (UPV/EHU, 2006) and Master’s degree in Chemical Process Engineering and Sustainable Development (UPV/EHU, 2007). He did a research stay in the CenTACat of Queen´s University of Belfast. International PhD in Chemical Engineering (UPV/EHU, 2012) awarded with Extraordinary Doctorate Prize and the award of the best PhD thesis of the Spanish Catalysis Society.

He focuses his research work on catalytic technologies for the removal of pollutants (NOx) and for CO2 capture and conversion. Specifically, he works on Power to Gas (PtG) technology, promoting the reaction between hydrogen obtained from a renewable source and captured CO2 to form CH4, which is used as an energy vector. Recently, he has started to study direct CO2 capture from air (DAC) and its conversion to carbon neutral fuels. His research focuses on catalyst synthesis and characterization, kinetic studies and reactor design assisted by modeling and simulation. He is co-author of 70 articles indexed in the JCR with an h-index of 28, and has participated in the direction of 4 international doctoral theses and 3 more in development. He has participated in more than 20 research projects funded by the Ministry of Spain and the Basque Government.

He has been teaching since the beginning of 2012. Currently, he holds a full-time position as Associate Professor at the University. He has taught Kinetics of Chemical Processes, Energy Engineering and Numerical Calculus (among others) within the Chemical Engineering degree. He is coordinator of the 4th year of the Degree in Chemical Engineering and coordinator of Final Degree Projects. He also participates in the teaching of the Interuniversity Master's Degree in Chemical Engineering taught jointly by the UPV/EHU and the University of Cantabria.
