Doctor by the Universidad de Huelva with the thesis Contribuciones desde la arquitectura y la ingeniería a los edificios de energía minera 2017. Supervised by Dr. Miguel Ángel Martínez Bohórquez, Dr. José Manuel Andújar Márquez.

My profesional experience combines both Architectural design practice and Academia. I do research on sustainable architectonical design and energy efficiency in buildings, communities and cities. I work on uhuMEB and uhuMEBr, a new methodology for the design, construction and operation of Minimum Energy Buildings (MEB), both new and retrofitted. I promote the standard BIM/BEM from the first steps of the architectonical design as part of the necessary holistic approach. I use on-site real measurements of physical variables (temperature, humidity, air quality, solar radiation, energy, etc.) and renewable sources (solar, geothermal and hydrogen) integrated in the architecture of the building. I am experimenting with urban digital twins, artificial vision and unmanned aerial vehicles for improving the green design of cities urban spaces. I am experienced in international collaborations and research all over the world. I have full expertise and skilled experience conducting working teams as the CEO-Architect of LAR Arquitectura design company, with more than 500.000 m2 of buildings and urban developments projected for public and private clients. LAR Arquitectura is a University of Huelva spin-off. I have twenty years of experience as associate professor in University of Huelva UHU, teaching construction materials, resistance of materials, concrete structures, structures theory, calculus of foundations, etc. I have taught sustainable oriented design studios for architecture graduate and postgraduate students at Nanjing University NJU (Nanjing, China) in 2017 and 2018, Wentworth Institute of Technology WIT (Boston, USA) in 2022 and Otemon University in 2025 (Osaka, Japan). As Director of Global Campus and Local Connection of UHU, I oversee the overall internationalization strategy of the University of Huelva, as well as its strategic participation in the PIONEER project for the European University Alliance. I promote a substantive and sustainable impact on the institutional ecosystem, integrating actions in teaching, management, research, and knowledge transfer aimed at fulfilling SDG 11 and other sustainable development goals.
