  I receive my degree in industrial engineering from the Escola Tècnica Superior d’enginyeria industrial de Barcelona (ETSEIB), Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in 2004. By receiving a four years early stage researcher grant from Generalitat de Catalunya (PI) from 2004 has obtained the predoctoral degree in electromechanical engineering from UPC in April 2009. Since March of 2012, he works as a researcher at the Electrical Engineering Research Area of the Catalonia Institute for Energy Research (IREC). Furthermore, he worked as a guest researcher at Cambridge, University of Cambridge, Electrical Engineering Department, by a grant obtained by Generalitat de Catalunya during the second half of the predoctoral degree. He has the University Quality Agency (AQU) accreditation as a lecturer received in 2010 and ANECA lecturer degree from 2014. He has more than 5 years’ experience in rotating electric machines modelling as well as testing them in different prestigious universities. Also, has more than 3 years’ experience in instrumentation and test developer in the Materials Research Institute of Barcelona. He has participated in industrial projects (collaborating with Alstom Wind SLU), performing the modelling of large rotating machines for wind energy by using Permanent Magnet, Wound Rotor and Doubly Fed Induction technology as well as superconductor materials and also working on the optimization of rotating electrical machines using Finite Element Modelling tools as well as simulation design. His current work deals with the design of new concepts for optimizing rotating electrical machines for different renewable energy industrial sectors as well as developing High Temperature Superconductor materials by using Finite Element Analysis modelling for electrical current transport systems front magnetic fields. He is carrying out dissemination activities, and participating in industrial and competitive projects in the field of electrical rotating machines development in renewable generation and electro mobility industrial sector and in the field of nuclear fusion power. PhD Thesis: “Towards the superconductor motor. Axial flux motor with magnetized YBCO samples”.
