Doctor by the Universidad del País Vasco - Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea with the thesis Innovaciones en el estudio cinético de la desactivación y de la reactividad de catalizadores. Aplicación al diseño del reactor 1992. Supervised by Dr. José María Arandes Esteban.

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: - 6 Six-year Research periods and 1 Six-year Transfer period. More than 195 articles in indexed journals (>85% in Q1 journal in JCR). H index=61 (Scopus). Director of 21 Ph. D Thesis (7 with Extraordinary Award and 7 with International Distinction). More than 250 Communications in National and International Conferences.
