Participation in 11 national competitive research projects (serving as Principal Investigator in two and co-PI in one), 1 international, and 16 regional competitive research projects. Doctoral Thesis developed under the National Research Project ALCANZA (IPT/80000/2010/012) Universidad de Cantabria with a 2½-year pre-doc research contract, with collaboration of a private construction company. Results include 2 Doctoral Theses, 2 patents and numerous research papers. Three international stays at Purdue University, IN, USA (more than 5 moths in total). More than 60 knowledge-transfer contracts with private companies and other institutions (total budget managed above 380.000 €). 3 Doctoral Theses supervised to completion and 4 currently in progress, two of them founded by national government through the competitive grant for Training University Professors (FPU 2021 and FPU 2023). About 1200 hours of teaching at Degree and Master levels in Mechanical, Mining and Civil Engineering. About 45 master and graduate dissertations supervised in several topics. 2 teaching innovation projects, leading 1. 3 teaching publications, 11 courses of teaching training, 5 contributions to teaching Conferences. 5 Erasmus Agreements coordinated with Turkey, Italy and United Kingdom. One teaching award from "Cátedra Milla del Conocimiento: Xixón Sostenibilidad" as supervisor of the Master dissertation Developing carbon footprint assessment of wind turbines: applied to the United Kingdom. Main research lines are focused on the analysis of lightweight concretes and sustainable materials for construction. Advanced numerical models and experimental equipment are combined to optimise porous materials, improve sustainability, and reduce GHG emissions. Circular economy, the use of byproducts from metal industry for CO2 sequestration or the addition of advanced materials such as Phase Change Materials are the topics of the current research projects ran. Specifically, in Plan Nacional 2021 the research project entitled Experimental and numerical study of adaptive envelopes made of lightweight concrete with phase change materials (LADEN+PCM) combines Phase Change Materials (PCM) and LightWeight Concretes. LADEN+PCM project seeks to design adaptive envelopes able to change its thermal performance with the climate conditions. Adaptive envelopes will help to reduce energy consumption of building, improving efficiency of constructions, improving sustainability and protecting environment.
