He holds a degree in Aerospace Engineering from the Technical University of Madrid (UPM), an M.Sc. in Aerospace Science and Technology from the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC), and an M.Sc. in Astrophysics and Cosmology from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). He received the IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society (AESS) award for the best master’s thesis in Spain. He completed his Ph.D. (summa cum laude with International Mention) on fireball and meteoroid science under the supervision of Dr. Josep M. Trigo-Rodríguez and Dr. Albert Rimola at the Institute of Space Sciences (ICE-CSIC) and the UAB. He was recognized by the City Council of Cartagena, his hometown, as Outstanding Young Person of 2021. In 2022, he was a visiting scholar at the Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) and NASA’s Johnson Space Center, where he worked on the design of astronaut lunar traverses for the Artemis program. He also completed funded research stays at ESA/ESAC, the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, the Technical University of Braunschweig, and the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands (IAC). His doctoral dissertation received the Best Iberian Ph.D. Thesis in Planetary Science and Exploration award from the Europlanet Society and the Best Ph.D. Thesis in Instrumentation, Computing, and Technological Development in Astronomy award from the Spanish Astronomical Society. He subsequently joined the Politecnico di Milano as a postdoctoral researcher for two years, where he served as coordinator of the Science Operations Center for ESA’s LUMIO mission, dedicated to observing meteoroid impacts on the far side of the Moon. He is currently a permanent faculty member at the University of Alicante, where he serves as Head of Studies for the Bachelor’s Degree in Aerospace Engineering and coordinates four courses. He is also a member of the Hera Science Working Group in the Dynamics area and participates in all LUMIO mission working groups. His research has resulted in 45 publications in high-impact journals, including 35 in Q1 journals and 24 as first author, as well as 46 contributions to international conferences. Together with Professor Elisa Simó, he also co-edited the first multidisciplinary book on Planetary Defense published in Spanish. In recognition of his scientific contributions, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) named asteroid (20320) Eloypeña (formerly 1998 GH8) in his honor.
