Briefly about my trajectory

Since 2021, I hold a professorship (tenured) in Applied Mathematics at ETSIAE-UPM (School of Aeronautics in Madrid). From 2014 until 2021, I have held a lectureship and a readership at ETSIAE-UPM.

From 2012 until 2014 I worked as a Marie-Curie Post-Doctoral researcher at ETSIAE-UPM developing Discontinuous Galerkin numerical techniques for compressible and incompressible flows. In addition, I became interested in flow stability and sensitivity.

In 2012, I obtained my Doctorate (DPhil-PhD) from the University of Oxford. In 2008, I joined the Low Speed Fluid Mechanics group in the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford, where I was in receipt of a John Fell OUP Research Fund studentship to support my doctoral research.

The objective of my doctorate has been to improve the understanding of wind and tidal turbine flow physics through new numerical techniques. In particular, a novel 3D high-order ( > 3) discontinuous Galerkin - Fourier solver for incompressible flows with sliding meshes has been developed and used to characterise some physical phenomena influencing cross-flow turbine power extraction.

I have been awarded two Masters Degrees, one in Mechanical Engineering from ETSEIB-UPC (Barcelona) and the other in Aeronautical Engineering from ISAE (Toulouse). As part of my Aeronautical degree I spent six months at Imperial College London, UK.

After graduating, I worked for two years as a CFD analyst for a small consultancy in the UK on the analysis of flows related to the oil and gas industry. Subsequently, I worked for four years as a senior CFD researcher studying various aspects of the aerodynamics of wind turbines at CENER (Renewable Energy Centre in Spain).
