Framed within the field of ​​quantitative finance, my research career has been mainly focused on the analysis and measurement of financial risks, specifically the study of interest rate risk and credit risk. With regard to my research on the management of interest risk, this has focused on determining the incidence of interest rate risk in the Spanish banking sector by measuring the sensitivity of credit institutions to interest rate movements. Regarding the credit risk studies, these have focused on the analysis of the transmission and contagion of this type of risk, measured through the credit default swap (CDS) market, both for the European and American markets. 

In relation to other aspects of my research career, I have participated in several research projects of a competitive nature in the field of finance and I have been a principal researcher in a project of the University of Valencia (2013) and the Ramón Areces Foundation (2014-2016). I have completed two visiting researches at Cass Business School (City University London) and I received the Doctoral Thesis Prize (2010) from the Economic and Social Council of the Valencian Community and the Teaching Excellence Award (2019) from the Social Council of the University of Valencia.
