Member of the research team of the Product Design Laboratory (http://www.ehu.eus/PDL) since its foundation. He is currently working on three lines of research at the PDL:

• Analysis of techniques for the generation of parametric CAD models built from a mesh of points obtained by scanning the object (retro-conception or reverse engineering).

• Automation of the verification of geometric tolerances (GD&T) using non-contact techniques.

• Development of new methodologies in digital workflow in dentistry through reverse engineering.

He has directed eight doctoral theses and has been a researcher in numerous R&D projects.
