He obtained his Ph.D. in chemistry in 1990 at the same university, working under the supervision of Dr. L. Gonza ´lez Tejuca and Prof. J. L. G. Fierro at the Institute of Catalysis and Petrochemistry (CSIC). From 1990 to 1993, he was working under contract in a project of oxidative coupling of methane funded by REPSOL (the largest Spanish oil and petrochemisty company). At the end of this period, he got a staff position of researcher in the Institute of Catalysis and Petrochemisty, that is his current status. In 1996−1997, he was a Visiting Scholar in the group of Prof. A. Varma, at the University of Notre Dame (USA). He has been the Head of the Department of Sturcture and Reactivity of the Institute of Catalysis and Petrochemistry since 1998. His research interests are focused mainly in catalytic processes for clean energy production, specifically in catalytic applications of perovskite oxides (Ph.D. dissertation), natural gas conversion, catalytic combustion, C 1 chemistry, catalyic membrane reactors, hydrogen production, and fuel cell catalysts. He has published 30 papers and 3 patents and made 22 presentations at symposia and conferences.
