Short CV

Bs. in Mining Engineering in 2003 and PhD degree in Environmental Technology in 2010, all of them by the Universidade de Vigo, Spain. Member of the CI5 Research Group of the University of Vigo. Under the protection of this research group, I have developed skills as a teacher, researcher and manager. My research is focused on the modeling and optimization of mining resources exploitations, and on the improvement of control procedures and data processing within the environmental field. These lines of research have given rise in more than 15 publications and communications at international conferences, and participation in the development of 6 R+D+i projects financed in competitive calls and in 11 R+D+i grants of special relevance with companies and / or administrations. In relation to university management activities, I am Degree Coordinator and Deputy Director of Planning and Academic Organization in the School of Mining and Energy Engineering of the University of Vigo.
