With a Building Engineering degree, my professional activity was developed in Spain (1997-2009), working as a construction manager and building surveyor. I participated in the construction of more than 1,000 new apartments and houses in multiple developments, as well as other inspection and renovation works, creating my own professional consultancy service for construction (2002-2009).
I have worked as a Lecturer at: University of Alicante (Spain, 2001-2013); University of Wales Trinity Saint David (2015-2020); and University of Salford (2020-present). My expertise in sustainability, LCA and circular economy has been developed through different research and academic works. I obtained my PhD in 2013 about LCA and ecological footprint of the construction sector in Spain. I have participated in a number of research and innovation projects, among others: RECONMATIC Horizon Europe (2022-2026), Future Homes UKRI Innovation Accelerator (2023-2025), CE Hub Innovation Fund (2023-2024). Currently, I am participating in Greater Manchester Sustainable Consumption and Production Challenge group, UKGBC Circular Economy Forum and representing University of Salford at CIRIA Council. Parallelly, I have recently created Decarbonize Construction Solutions Ltd in Malaga (Spain) to support the construction industry through consultancy, training and innovation actions at local, regional, national and international levels.
