He has developed several lines of research, in connection with the subjects he has taught. His first research work, as part of his doctoral thesis, focused on contemporary French poetry, with some incursions into other periods. He has published articles and book chapters on the poetry of Philippe Jaccottet, Yves Bonnefoy, Marguerite Yourcenar, Lorand Gaspar, Jean Cocteau, Salah Stétié, Anise Koltz, Eugène Guillevic, Pierre Pascal, Jean Claude Renard, Édouard Glissant, Pierro Oster, Fancis Ponge, Max Jacob, Jude Stéfan, André Salmon and Jean-Michel Maulpoix.

For some years now, while taking subjects on the Master's Degree in Humanistic and Creative Translation, she has been translating French literary texts into Spanish, most of them never translated into Spanish before, from different periods and genres. His first translations have focused on French-language poetry from the 17th, 19th, 20th and 19th centuries: Salah Stétié, Alfred de Musset, Anise Koltz, Jean-Michel Maulpoix, Théophile Gautier and Théophile de Viau. In connection with his teaching and research on Medieval French literature, she has translated two works by Christine de Pisan (Cien Baladas de Amante y Dama, Palma: La lucerna 2011), and El libro del duque de los verdaderos amantes, Universidad de Murcia, 2014). A few years ago he opened a new line of research on contemporary French theatre with studies, prologues and translations of Louise Doutreligne (Tocada y lanzada, Universitat de València, 2008, and Teresada', Universitat de València, 2017; etc. ), and by the Romanian-French author Matei Visniec (La palabra progreso en boca de mi madre sonaba tremendamente falsa, Universitat de València, 2013; Migraaaantes..., Universitat de València, Academia de los nocturnos, 2017, etc.). This author is the origin of his recent interest in the Romanian language, which has culminated, till the date, with the co-translation, together with Angelica Lambru, of four works by Matei Visniec written in Romanian (En la mesa con Marx, La Garúa LIbros, 2017), El bolsillo del pan, Caballos en la ventana and La araña en la herida, Universitat de València, 2021)  Se contrata payaso, Tres noches con Madox y otras obras cortas (Universitat de València, 2023) and Los últimos días de Occidente (Verbum, 2023).

Finally, he has translated for the first time into Spanish three works by the Quebec writer Serge Lamothe: Oshima, (Verbum 2022), Tras el final (Verbum, 2023) and Mi tierra es un fondo de océano (La Lucerna, 2023).These translations, almost always preceded by introductory studies, have been accompanied by two short essays in which he has reflected on his own work: "Entusiasmos y angustias de un traductor vocacional", Eu-topias, V, 2013; "La traducción poética desde la experiencia de un traductor", in Martínez-Paricio, Violeta; Pruñonosa-Tomás, Manuel eds, Intercomprensión románica, Linx, 2017.

Within the framework of the former, he researches on Jorge Semprún and Matei Visniec; within the framework of the second one, he studies, edits and translates classical French plays. Likewise, in the field of knowledge transfer, he has been advising the performance company Influenscènes Association since February 2017, through an agreement between this company and the Universitat de València.

He has held several positions of academic responsibility in the Faculty of Philology, Translation and Communication of the University of Valencia: Secretary and Vice-Dean of the Faculty, Secretary and Director of the Department of French and Italian Philology of the same centre. During his time as Vice-Dean, he was in charge of the academic organization of the Faculty, as well as external internships, and he also participated in the commissions for the reform of the syllabus and self-evaluation of the centre. He has also been Coordinator of the Degree in Modern Languages and their Literatures and Co-Director of the Master's Degree in Research in Languages and Literatures at the University of Valencia. Since 1990, without interruption until today, he has been an elected representative of the teaching staff on the Board of the Facultat de Filologia, Traducció i Comunicació (Faculty of Philology, Translation and Communication).

Elena Moltó Hernández. Professor of the Department of French and Italian Philology at the Universitat de València. With a medievalist background and for a long time focused on French and Occitan literature of the 11th-13th centuries: Tristan and Iseo, the troubadour lyric and the courtly novel, etc.. In a second life, her interest is focused on ICT applied to the learning of French, exploring especially what students can do with them in the framework of active pedagogies. A dynamic that accelerates sharply with the pandemic. Hence the need for adaptation to virtual environments, coordination with teaching staff from other universities and the implementation of language tandem teaching projects, for example. She is currently focused on the exploration of artificial intelligence to improve the learning of French at university, in particular on how these tools can be put at the service of students as imagination and research advisors, without losing sight of the exercise of critical thinking about the behavior of AI in order to acquire higher order cognitive and technological skills.
