Professor of Construction Engineering at the University of Alicante (UA) since 2020. I currently teach courses on the design and analysis of concrete and steel structures. Between 2022 and 2024, I served as Chief of Studies for the Civil Engineering Degree at UA, with responsibilities including course coordination and outcome evaluation. Since 2024, I held the position of Degree Coordinator for the Civil Engineering program at UA, assuming broader responsibilities such as overseeing academic planning, curriculum development, quality assurance, and fostering collaboration among faculty, students, and external stakeholders. Previously, I was an Assistant Professor and researcher at the Polytechnic University of Valencia from 2014 to 2017.

My research has consistently focused on the application of advanced materials in construction, such as Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) and Shape Memory Alloys (SMA). I have been a member of the GRESMES (Testing, Simulation and Modelling of Structures) research group since 2016. I served as Principal Investigator (PI) on two competitive regional projects (CIGE/2022/46 and GRE21-18A), each with a two-year duration, which examined the mechanical behavior of beam-column joints made with recycled aggregate concrete and recycled tire steel fibers under high temperatures and cyclic loading, as well as their repair using UHPC.

As part of the GRESMES group, led by Prof. Salvador Ivorra, I have participated in two national research projects (RTI2018-101148-B-100 and PID2021-128766OB-I00), along with several contracts with private companies. Both projects investigated the mechanical performance of masonry and rammed earth walls reinforced with Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM) under cyclic and seismic loading.

Among our technology transfer projects, notable contributions include the development of a concrete mix and scaled prototype for the envelope of the IFMIF-DONES nuclear core. Additionally, I served as PI on another key project involving the seismic analysis of containment doors for the core of the ITER experimental fusion reactor.

During my tenure at the Universitat Politècnica de València, I contributed to project BIA2012-32645, focused on enhancing the ductility of beam-column and column-foundation joints subjected to seismic actions using SMA and UHPC. My role encompassed both experimental and numerical work, which formed the foundation of my doctoral thesis.

In the private sector, I worked for three years (2017–2020) as a structural engineer in the development department at CYPE Ingenieros S.A., where I also served as development manager of the company’s educational platform for BIM implementation, promoting its adoption across various universities.

According to Scopus (ID: 57195052713), my scientific output includes 19 documents (16 indexed in JCR), with a total of 134 citations since 2017. I have reviewed over 75 papers for 12 scientific journals and co-authored more than 30 presentations at international conferences. Additionally, I have served on the scientific committee of six international conferences. I am currently supervising three PhD theses: one related to projects CIGE/2022/46 and GRE21-18A, another related to project RTI2018-101148-B-100, and a third linked to project PID2021-128766OB-I00. In 2019, I received the Extraordinary PhD Thesis Award from the Universitat Politècnica de València.
