Personal information

Biography

Chemical Engineer and PhD in Environmental Engineering, with international mention and extraordinary award. His research area focuses on obtaining secondary raw materials, alternative fuels and/or energy from the treatment of complex waste, both of industrial and urban origin. He has participated in 14 research projects in national, regional and university competitive calls, being principal investigator in one of them, and in 6 private research contracts with companies, among them Repsol YPF and BEFESA R&D. In terms of scientific production, he has published 35 articles in high impact international journals and 1 book chapter (index h=16). In addition, he is the main inventor of a Spanish patent validated in the European Union (Germany, Italy, France) and the United Kingdom. He has also presented more than 60 communications at national and international symposiums. This scientific production has earned him the recognition of 2 six-year research periods. He is a member of 2 PhD programs: Environmental Engineering, and Engineering of Materials and Sustainable Processes. He has supervised 3 doctoral theses, one of them international and with extraordinary prize and another with mention of industrial doctorate, and currently directs 5 more doctoral theses. Finally, he is a member of the evaluating entity of the Euskoiker Foundation for the evaluation of the safety reports of Basque companies affected by the legislation on serious accidents involving hazardous substances.

In the teaching area, he is an associate professor of Environmental Technologies in the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering of the School of Engineering of Bilbao (UPV/EHU). In undergraduate courses, he teaches Chemical Technology in the Degree in Industrial Organization Engineering and Waste Sampling and Analysis in the Degree in Environmental Engineering. In postgraduate courses, he teaches 3 subjects related to waste management and treatment in the Master in Environmental Engineering and Master in Advanced Materials Engineering. In the teaching evaluation program of the UPV/EHU DOCENTIAZ he has obtained a rating of 94.92/100 and 86.32/100 in the two calls evaluated.
