BIO

Born during the Ides of February in that wonderful year 1980, which makes very easy to count my age, in the City of Drum - Hellín (Albacete) - my hometown.

At primary school, I wanted to be archaeologist... my brother has always thought that it was because of Indiana Jones, not sure but makes sense.

At high school, I wanted to be astrophysicist... my mother realized that job on the radio and told me because I like astronomy.

I arrived in Madrid, to the Faculty of Physics (UCM), but between the universe and me there was the atmosphere... and I became a climatologist (not meteorologist).

OTHERS

After finishing the PhD (TROPA/UCM), during which I stayed in Exeter (MetOffice, UK) and Utrecht (KNMI, NL), I moved to Barcelona (IC3) and afterwards to Tokyo (AORI, JP). Then, I came back to Europe in Paris (LOCEAN/IPSL, FR), and passed by Toulouse (Météo-France/CNRM + CERFACS, FR) in the way back to Barcelona (BSC + METEO-UB). From here, I have visited Boulder (NCAR, USA), Hamburg (MPI-M, DE) and New York (IRI, USA).

AND OTHERS

I think I prefer the mountain to the sea, because my father was born in the Sierra del Segura (Jaén) and has transmitted it to us, but my view might be changing thanks to living in a seaside town, although my house is quite close to the woods (i.e. the watchtower of El Guinardó). In any case, I couldn't conceive of my life without music and cinema.
