My education and academic career have shaped my interdisciplinary profile in economics and environmental sciences. I hold a Ph.D. from the University of Murcia, where I worked on applying Economic Models in Water Resource Management and Allocation in the Department of Applied Economics. During this period, I conducted economic analyses related to water resource management, specifically focusing on the economic valuation of environmental services and the economic evaluation of measures to improve environmental quality in aquatic ecosystems in the Segura basin. The research carried out in this area was pioneering in the context of the Segura basin. It represented an initial step towards developing methodologies and obtaining empirical evidence to meet the requirements of European water policy concerning the use of economic analysis in water management.

Part of my research also contributed to the development of empirical analyses in the United Kingdom, as part of the European FP7 REFRESH project during my stay at The James Hutton Institute (Aberdeen, UK). I completed my postdoctoral period at the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission. My main work involved contributing to the development of models for analyzing the economic and environmental impact of the Common Agricultural Policy across the European Union. Specifically, I worked on the development of the IFMCAP model (EU-Wide Individual Farm Model for Common Agricultural Policy Analysis), contributing to the model specification, calculation of technical coefficients, implementation of environmental indicators, as well as the simulation and interpretation of agricultural policies.

Additionally, as part of my duties at the JRC, I managed external research contracts with universities or specialized consultancies related to the theoretical and applied development of the IFM-CAP model. It is worth noting that IFM-CAP has been used in the impact assessment of the new Common Agricultural Policy by the European Commission itself. This impact assessment can be found in the document Commission staff working document Impact Assessment: SWD(2018) 301 FINAL. PART 1/3. Since October 2018, I have been an Assistant Professor in the Department of General Economics at the University of Cádiz (UCA). My research tasks are a continuation of the described research lines, thanks to maintaining professional ties with colleagues from my previous positions, both nationally and internationally, as evidenced by the articles and projects listed in this CV. Additionally, I joined the Innovation and Transport Economics research group at UCA. In summary, my current research work encompasses the following areas: (i) economic valuation of environmental services; (ii) economic evaluation of water and agricultural policies; and (iii) innovation in the aerospace sector. The first two areas are reflected in my most recent publications and are related to three research projects I am currently involved in. One of these projects, initiated in 2019, analyzes the socioeconomic and environmental impacts of climate change on water resource management in semi-arid basins. More recently, I am participating in the AgriCamBio project, funded by the National Research Plan, whose main objective is to design the necessary economic incentives for the adoption and implementation of climate-adapted/mitigating cultivation practices. Additionally, the AQUAEBANK project (funded by the Junta de Andalucía) is in its early stages, focusing on the analysis and proposal of water banks in Andalusia as a tool for water demand management in the context of climate change. My new third research line is being developed within the framework of the project Open Innovation in the Aerospace Industry. Processes of knowledge acquisition and dissemination and their effects on business performance, funded by the Junta de Andalucía, in which I participate as a member of the Innovation and Transport Economics research group at UCA.
