In 2014, he joined the Chemical and Environmental Engineering Group (ESCET, URJC) for 3 months, cooperating in the synthesis and characterization of hierachical porosity catalysts. Later, he started working in the wastewater treatment plant of the University Campus, where he developed his Final Degree Project about design and modeling of an RBC system-based treatment plant. After more tan one year and a half dedicated to waste management and environmental audit, he started a 10 month period working for the Astrobiology Center (INTA-CSIC), doing research in the fields of microbiology and molecular evolution.
His research is currently focused in the developement of new catalysts for the chemical transformation of the biomass into industrial products, enhancing the sustainability of the process.
