ORCiD: 

I am Tenured Scientist in the National Institute of Coal (INCAR), which belongs to the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). I acquired my PhD degree from the University of Oviedo/INCAR in 2008 working on the development of novel carbon materials for energy storage (supercapacitors) and energy production (electrocatalysts for the anode of fuel cells). Afterwards, I did postdoctoral stays in the University of Nottingham (with Prof. Robert Mokaya, 2009-2011), Max-Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces (with Prof. Maria-Magdalena Titirici, 2011), and Georgia Institute of Technology (with Prof. Gleb Yushin, 2013). My research interests focus on the development of advanced porous carbon materials and carbon-based materials through sustainable processes for their utilization in gas storage (H2 storage and CO2 capture), and energy storage (supercapacitors and Li-ion batteries) and production (fuel cells).
