[Biography, english version]

I earned a BSc in Physical Sciences from the University of Valencia in 1990 and a PhD in Electronic Engineering in 1997.
I entered the body of Associate Professors (Profesor TItular) at the university in 1999 and became a Full Professor (Catedrático) in 2016.
I would like to highlight that I benefited from a specialization grant for technologists awarded by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science from 1992 to 1994, during which I carried out R&D work in the Power Conditioning Section of the European Space Agency at the European Space Technology Centre (ESTEC) in the Netherlands.

In terms of administrative duties, I served as Secretary of the ETSE‑UV (Faculty of Science and Technology) from 2003 to 2005 and as Deputy Director of the ETSE‑UV from 2005 to 2012. I have also acted as Delegate of the Rector for the FORTHEM alliance since 2019, having established and developed the participation of the University of Valencia in the European Universities FORTHEM alliance.

My research is primarily focused on the space sector, leading power‑system design projects for space instruments and also participating in other competitive European Space Agency research projects. These projects have always been part of consortia, notably the Spanish Space Solar Physics Consortium (BOE No. 228, 22 September 2022, p. 130300 et al.). The projects have led me to manage National Plan projects as an PI (Principal Investigator) from 2016 to the present. Since 2020, the PHI instrument aboard the Solar Orbiter satellite has been in orbit around the sun, and the power supply—under my team’s responsibility—has operated flawlessly with no failures since then.

Within the research group, I have also collaborated on the power‑device line, focusing on characterizing devices for space applications, and on the industrial‑applications line specialized in high‑power inverters mainly for induction heating. The application of SiC components has enabled new milestones with these inverters.

In all cases, I have also developed projects with industry, combining research with technology transfer.

All my research activities are carried out alongside my teaching duties and university administration responsibilities.
