I am a researcher (Ramón y Cajal fellowship from December 2022) within the Research Group of Thermal Engineering and Energy Systems (GITSE) from the Aragon Institute for Engineering Research (I3A) from the University of Zaragoza. My main research line is focused on the evaluation of the environmental performance, mainly of power generation systems and more specifically of those working with renewable energy sources. I am passionate about research projects aimed at developing and implementing actions to mitigate climate change and minimize environmental impact. Presently, I teach at the University of Zaragoza in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Area of Machines and Thermal Engines, where I teach thermodynamics, air conditioning systems and life cycle assessment. I am currently supervising two doctoral theses about life cycle assessment and co-supervising one about energy efficiency and indoors air quality on buildings.
I received my doctorate in 2017 with the PhD dissertation on energy efficiency in buildings, defended under the mention of International Doctorate, obtaining Extraordinary Doctorate Award from the University of Zaragoza. I made a predoctoral three-month research stay at the University of Guanajuato (2016, Mexico), and two postdoctoral three-month research stays at the Federal University of Paraiba (2022 and 2025, Brazil).
I have published 15 high-impact journal papers (Q1), 2 impact journal papers (Q2) and 1 book. I have received a total of 333 citations according WoS and 380 according to Scopus (h=11). The results of my research has been presented in 9 international conferences and in 6 national conferences. I have participated as Organizing Committee Member on the 6th International Conference on Polygeneration (ICP 2021) with more than 200 participants from 30 countries. I’m currently co-leading a research project public funded (Innovative strategies to achieve smart and sustainable polygeneration systems: a focus on life cycle analysis and predictive control models, 175m€). I have participated in 4 research projects (655m€), one as project leader from the National research program, 1 research project from European Union call (150m€) 5 research projects (26m€) from competitive calls and in 2 R+D transfer contracts (5m €). Currently, I actively participate in two International Energy Agency (IEA) Working Groups: Task71 (Life Cycle and Cost Assessment for HC Technologies, ) and Task 68 (Efficient Solar DHS).
Regarding my contributions to technological development and the collaboration with the industry I worked for 15 years in private companies (1998-2013), always in Research and development teams. During this period, I contributed in the publication of 12 patents and participated in more than 16 research projects as project leader. I was the principal Investigator in one project from competitive calls (110m€). I worked in highly reputable private research centers such as Electrolux in Stockholm (6 months) and Valeo in La Verrière, France (20 months). My research work was focused on heat exchangers (evaporators, condensers, exhaust gas recirculating coolers and oil coolers
I really like science divulgation activities, I have participated during the last years in the 11F initiative around the international day of women and girls in science and in ‘Una ingeniera en cada cole’ initiative in activities and talks to visualize the work of women and help to create close feminine referents among the youngest.
