I have a PhD in Physics from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. I have worked for more than 35 years in different aspects related to technological problems of fusion as an energy source, with special emphasis on those aspects related to materials and their response to radiation. For more than 15 years I have led the Fusion Technologies Division of the National Fusion Laboratory of CIEMAT, I have been responsible for the Spanish participation in the IFMIF/EVEDA project in the framework of the Bilateral Agreement between Europe and Japan for the Broader Approach to Fusion, European coordinator of the Work Package of the Early Neutron Source (WPENS) for Fusion in the framework of the European Consortium EUROfusion and in 2021 I have been appointed Director of the IFMIF-DONES España Consortium.
