Award), Mechanical Engineering and Materials, and Erasmus Mundus Materials and Sensor Systems for Environmental Technologies, as well as a PhD in Engineering and Industrial Production (Extraord. Award). RESEARCH/ His work has been devoted towards (i) the Design and Functionalisation of polymer-based dispositives for application sectors such as energy, biomedicine, packaging and environmental technologies, and (ii) Valorisation of polymer-based materials, through mechanical, chemical, thermal and biological means. His work has been placed at the RDT groups of Functionalisation, Recycling and Degradation of Polymer Materials (UPV, Spain) and at the Materials Technology and Sustainability (UV, Spain). 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, Valencian Agency). He shows 52 publications in JCR (85% Q1), >1000 citations and h-index of 20, 3 research chapters, > 70 communications in conferences (>50 international, >10 oral communic), and 5 divulgative papers focusing on companies. He has participated in 22 research projects (6 National and 2 International: LIFE and Chilean Government). He is currently leading 2 research projects from the Valentian region. Collaborations with other research groups is shown in 30 co-authored papers (18 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 of the DIQ-UV. TRANSFERENCE / Concerning work with industry, he has participated in 20 contracts / technical assistances, leading 10 of them. Co-author of 1 patent.
