My current position is Full-Professor at the Physical-Chemistry department at the University of Cadiz. In addition, I am the Vice-Rector for Science and Technology Policy. I have also leaded 13 funded research projects (10 Spanish projects and 3 Andalusian projects) and 12 relevant research contracts with companies. As results of this research activities, 9 patents have been obtained, being six of them under exploitation contracts. Moreover, I am the coordinator of a European project, funded by H2020 programme, with a budget of 7 million €. I am also author over 70 indexed papers and my h impact factor is 25 (google scholar). I have been supervisor of 8 doctoral thesys.

Technology Expertise

The research group TEP-243 develops smart nanomaterials for construction, Cultural Heritage and other applications requiring an innovative superficial performance.  The group has leaded numerous research projects. Nowadays, the group coordinates the European project InnovaConcrete, funded by the H2020 programme, with a budget of 7 million €. The objective of the project is to develop innovative materials for conservation of historical concrete. Moreover, the group has closely worked with different building companies, giving rise to 12 relevant contracts and 14 patents, 6 of them under exploitation.
The members of the group are authors of over 150 papers and they have been invited speakers for most 30 international conferences. In 2017, the group has hosted the international conference TechnoHeritage with over 200 participants from 10 different countries.
