Fitxa persona

I have worked as a university professor since completing my degree (1988), and I have done so at several universities: the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (1988–89), the Universitat Politècnica de València (1989–1991), and the Universitat Jaume I (for a few months in 1991). In November 1991 I joined the Universitat de València as an LRU Assistant Professor. In 1996 I obtained a position as Associate Professor, which became a Full Professor (Catedrático de Universidad) position in 2011. The Ministry has recognized six teaching periods (five-year terms) and five research periods (six-year terms).

Over my 37 years of teaching, I have taught a wide range of subjects (general physics, general optics, laboratory courses, quantum optics, and nonlinear optics), delivering nearly 5,000 hours of classes. Particularly noteworthy is my continuous teaching activity in quantum optics since 1992 and in nonlinear optics since 1997. In this context, I have supervised or co-supervised a total of seven PhD theses, twelve master’s theses or third-cycle research projects, as well as twenty one undergraduate theses.

In research, I have worked in the fields of quantum optics and nonlinear optics: laser physics (since 1988), spatiotemporal dynamics of optical systems (since 1995), including experimental research (since 2003), quantum fluctuations in nonlinear cavities (since 2005), and the study of quantum walks (since 2003). As a result of these activities I have published more than a hundred scientific publications, 95 in JCR journals.
