Idael Francisco Blanco Quintero did his undergraduate Geological Engineering at the Instituto Superior Minero Metalúrgico (ISMM) in Cuba. He obtained the FPU grant from the Spanish Ministry of Education, to support the PhD studies in the GranadaUniversity (Spain). The PhD studies focused on a subduction system, studying the partial melting of a slab and the evolution of arc magma in Eastern Cuba. During the past 5 years, he was a professor (Assistant and Associate) at the University of the Andes (Colombia). Currently he is Assistant Professor at the AlicanteUniversity (Spain). The research activity are mainly associated with regional metamorphism associate with evolution of convergent margins (subduction) and the pressure-temperature path of the metamorphic rocks. He uses thermobarometric calculations combined with geochemistry and mineralogy studies to determine the evolution of the complexes obtaining regional implications.
