In 2007, I graduated in Chemical Engineering at the Science and Technology Faculty of UPV/EHU. Subsequently, I joined the Catalytic Processes and Waste Valorization research group as a researcher and in 2012 I completed my PhD about hydrogen production by steam reforming of bio-oil. After, I have pursued my research career thanks to some postdoctoral contracts and a project of the Johnson-Matthey Company. In 2015, I got the postdoctoral grant of the UPV/EHU and since October 2016, I have been also teaching, firstly in the Pharmacy Faculty and later in the Science and Technology Faculty. My research work has been framed in the development of catalytic processes with energetic and environment interest related mainly to biorefinery. Particularly, most of my work has been focused on hydrogen production by steam reforming of oxygenates such as DME, ethanol and bio-oil. In addition, I have also worked on CO2 capture. Currently, I am involved in a project that addresses the oxidative steam reforming of bio-oil in a two-step in-line process (thermal and catalytic); we are studying in depth the catalyst regeneration that will allow the scale-up of the process. The results of this work has been published in 26 scientific papers in indexed journals (JCR) and 6 in non-indexed journals. These articles have more than 542 citations and an h index of 12.
