Professor in the field of Earth Physics in the Department of Earth Physics and Thermodynamics (University of Valencia, Spain). Since completing my degree in Physics, I have carried out my research activity at the University of Valencia, within the Solar Radiation Group (GRSV), which I currently lead. My work has focused on atmospheric physics, the characterisation of solar radiation and the role of aerosols and clouds in the Earth-atmosphere radiation balance and their implication in climate change.
I have led competitive projects since 2003 (the GRSV has obtained funding at European, national and regional levels), which has facilitated the acquisition and consolidation of high-level scientific equipment (LiDAR, radiometers, cloud cameras, microwaves, etc.) and, therefore, the strengthening of observation infrastructures. I have six six-year periods of research experience.
I have directed and co-directed undergraduate, master's and doctoral theses, as well as supervising internships and promoting the integration of young researchers in international campaigns and observation infrastructures. I have participated in scientific evaluation activities, project reviews and editorial tasks in the field of atmospheric physics.
I have held various academic management positions, including department secretary, department director and coordinator of the Doctorate in Remote Sensing.
