I have a PhD in Geology and more than 15 years of research experience. My research career has been carried out in numerous research national and international centers. In 2001, I was granted with a European competitive fellowship to take a Master in Science in the U.K. during one year. Next, in 2003, I obtained a two years predoctoral grant from the MEC (Spain) to continue my research training at the Complutense University of Madrid. In 2005, I got another grant to participate during one year in a research project at the Spanish Geological Survey (IGME) and from 2006 to 2010 I obtained a four-year grant from the MEC (Spain) to complete my PhD at the Spanish Geological Survey (IGME-CSIC). From 2010 to 2016 I have worked as a research consultant for several national and international companies and institutions and as a tutor-teacher at the Open National University (UNED). Apart from being granted with 4 competitive grants, my PhD obtained the Extraordinary Doctorate Award by the Complutense University of Madrid, and I have been awarded twice with the best oral communication. Since 2017, I occupy a lecturer professor position at the King Juan Carlos University.

From 2017 to the present, I have taught in different degrees at the URJC, such as Environmental Sciences, Environmental Engineering, Energy Engineering, Experimental Sciences and Water Resources. At present, I am the coordinator of the first course of Water Resources degree and from 2020 to 2022 I have overseen the international mobility program of the same degree. Since 2022 I am the director of the URJC 2030-agenda programme belonging to the vice-rectorate for planning and strategy.

My main research focuses on basin analysis, sedimentology, stratigraphy, petrology diagenesis, paleoclimatology and paleoenvironmental reconstructions. I work, both in siliciclastic and carbonate deposits of continental and marine origin. Among my fundamental research aims figure the study of abrupt climate changes from isotope chemostratigraphic analysis and 2D and 3D reservoir modeling for its use as CO2 storage.

I am author of 62 scientific publications, of which 14 are international publications (SCI, peer-reviewed articles), 11 are published in peer-review national journals, 5 are books chapters and 33 are congress abstracts. I have participated in 11 research projects with public and private funding, 6 of them funded by the National Plan I+D+I, being the co-IP of the last research project founded by the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities. Additionally, I have participated in several contracts with nationals and internationals companies, acting as chief investigator of some of them.

Currently, I collaborate as a researcher in the geohazards, active processes and global change department at the IGME-CSIC institution and I am part of the high-performance research group of Global Earth Change and Environmental Geology (GECEG-URJC).
