Biography

I am a Building Engineer graduate from Polytechnic University of Valencia and I hold a degree in Arquitectura Tecnica from University of Seville. I completed my PhD in on “Evaluation System for retrofitting solutions for energy saving in Historic Buildings”. The research carried out in order to design a strategic tool to help in decision-making; with the aim of tackling, the problem of retrofitting buildings that are officially protected as Cultural Heritage Interest (B.I.C in Spanish). I worked as a researcher too with the Sensors and Actuators research group at Polytechnic University of Madrid. In addition I have industry experience as a Site Construction Manager and Health and Safety coordinator.
