Chemical Engineer by the University of The Basque Country (UPV/EHU, 2006) and Master's degree in Chemical Process Engineering and Sustainable Development (UPV/EHU, 2007). He did a research stay in the Centre for the Theory and Application of Catalysis (CenTACat) of QueenŽs University of Belfast. International PhD in Chemical Engineering (UPV/EHU, 2012) awarded with Extraordinary Doctorate Prize and the award of the best PhD thesis of the Spanish Catalysis Society.

His research is focused on developing catalytic strategies to mitigate NOx emissions mainly by NOx storage and reduction (NSR) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR). He also studies catalytic strategies to convert CO2 into valuable products and fuels. Implements experimental work with modeling and simulation in order to optimize the operational conditions of catalytic processes. He is co-author of 37 research articles indexed in the JCR and has supervised 3 PhD thesis.

Part time Temporary Lecturer from 2012 and full time Lecturer from 2013 with main teaching subjects being Kinetics of Chemical Processes, Energy Engineering and Numerical Methods for Chemical Engineers of the Chemical Engineering degree of the UPV/EHU.
