Short CV

Industrial Engineer and Doctor-Engineer form the Technical University of Catalonia. Collaborating lecturer at the Physics Department, in the Nuclear Engineering Section. He has been teaching at the Technical University of Catalonia since the year 2000.
His main field of research is Nuclear Instrumentation and Radiation Detection, despite he has carried out research in Fusion and Neutronics. He is the responsible of the hardware design of neutron dosimeters. He has collaborated with the Catalan section of the Spanish Nuclear Council as responsible of the instrumentation of a system to detect and identify gamma emitters in aerosols which is operating in the Catalan Environmental Radiation Monitoring Network.
