His work has been placed at the RDT groups of Functionalisation, Recycling and Degradation of Polymer Materials (UPV, Spain, 2007-2017) and at the Materials Technology and Sustainability (UV, Spain, 2018-act). He has perfomed 5 research stays (33,5 months) in Dept of Fibre and Polymer Technology (KTH, Sweden) and Dept of Analytical and Organic Chemistry (URV, Spain). He shows recognition of 2 research periods (2007-2018). He shows 63 publications in JCR (85% Q1), >1900 citations and h-index of 27 (4 papers>100 cit), 3 research chapters, > 100 communications in conferences (>60% international, >10 oral), and 5 divulgative papers focusing on companies. He has participated in 32 research projects (including 8 National and 2 International, funded by LIFE and Chilean Government). He has led 2 regional projects and is currently co-leading 2 research projects from the Spanish Ministry. Collaborations with other research groups is shown in 32 co-authored papers (20 at int. level, with researchers of Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan -Sweden-, Università degli Studi di Genova - Italy-, or University of Aberdeen - UK-.). Since late 2019, he is leader of the RDT Group of Materials Technology and Sustainability (MATS) of the DIQ-UV. TRANSFER / Concerning work with industry, he has participated in 26 contracts / technical assistances for companies, technological centers and/or administrations, leading 12 of them. Co-author of 1 patent. Concerning work with society, 10 projects (3 international, Interreg, Erasmus+), on public procurement of innovation for municipalities, and involvement of women in the STEM careers. Since 2024, director of the University Chair AIMPLAS-UV, in liason with AIMPLAS, the Institute of Technology of Plastics, a worldly known institution.
