Associate Professor at the Faculty of Engineering of Bilbao, in the area of Fluid Mechanics, I began my teaching work in 1997. Previously and since 1995, I worked at the Faculty of Engineering of Madrid in the department of Nuclear Engineering. My work was framed within the specific agreement between the CSN and the UPM for the development of activities in the Phebus program of the European Commission. I am an Industrial Engineer in the Power Engineering branch, and I obtained a doctorate in Thermal and Fluidomechanical Engineering, in 2013, both at the Polytechnic University of Madrid. My studies are completed with a degree in Psychology from UNED, in 2012.

In 2000, I began my research work, with a stay at the Joint Research Center in Ispra, Italy. The line of research that I started then, and which has continued until the completion of the thesis, consisted of the validation of CFD codes in the field of liquid metal flows. Related to this, in 2002 I participated in a project in the 5th framework program of the European Commission. From there, two more projects financed by the University ofthe Basque Country were carried out, one on the use of liquid metals in fusion, and another on the use of liquid metals in transmutation devices, as well as another project financed by the IAEA, also in transmutation. In the field of simulation using CFD codes, since 2009 I have supervised projects carried out by students and related to marine energy. From 2011 I have been part of the research team in projects related to the analysis of the dynamic behavior of wind turbines, funded by the Basque Government. Also related to this area, a project, in which I participated, was an investigation about the fluid-dynamic modeling of vortex generators.

In 2013, I was part of the organizing committee of the International Congress on Numerical Engineering Methods, which took place in Bilbao. Since 2015, our work deals with numerical simulation and experimental validation in a wave channel available at the Faculty of Engineering of Bilbao. The experiments are carried out on the scale of what can be found at the Bimep marine testing center in Armintza, Bizkaia. I have participated in numerous R&D contracts with companies in the energy sector, in numerical simulation and experimentation, and in areas of heat transmission, ventilation, turbine operation, etc. Within my teaching work, I have been the director of many End-of-Degree and End-of-Degree Projects.
