Abbreviated CV

Degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) in 2019 and Master’s Degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of the Basque Country and the University of Cantabria (UC) in 2020, with special prize for the best student in the Master’s.

Participation in the project "Estrategias para la mejora de la estabilidad del catalizador y la eficiencia energética del proceso de reformado en línea de los volátiles de la pirólisis rápida de biomasa" (RTI2018-101678-B-I00) financed by the Spanish "Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades. Programa Estatal de I+D+i" from 01/12/2020 to 16/01/2022.

Hired researcher in the Department of Chemical Engineering of the UPV/EHU to study the effect of the addition of oxygen on the stability of the reforming catalyst in the combined process of pyrolysis-reforming of biomass and the deactivation and regeneration of the catalyst and its characterization.

2 papers published in journals indexed in the Journal Citation Reports list about the activity and stability of different Fe loaded primary catalysts for tar elimination and sorption enhanced ethanol steam reforming on a bifunctional Ni/CaO catalyst for H2 production.
