My academic training was completed a year a Fulbright Research Scholar  in the Department of Economics at the University of California at Berkeley. My research interests focus on the long-term relationships between energy consumption and the economy,  also covering aspects of energy dependence and the transition to a low carbon economy, and the water-energy  nexus. For more than a decade I studied the economic and financial history of the Spanish nuclear program. From 2023, I lead a team researching the take off of renewable industry in Navarra and other European regions. I have taken part in research consortiums funded by the EU (Horizon2020/Euratom and 6th Framework Program) and the European Science Foundation, among others.
