I am a naval architect and marine engineer (MSc.) from the Higher Technical School of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering (Technical University of Madrid - UPM) with more than 10 years of experience. I joined TSI as the Head of R&D Department in 2018, to manage R&D projects, develop business and search for new projects to maintain the engineering skills and capabilities of the company in a forefront position. My main objective is expanding TSI capabilities in URN, smart monitoring, and structural design of vessels and renewable structures in composites. I have been the H2020 FIBRESHIP project coordinator, managing the project from the technical and administrative point of view. Furthermore, I work in commercial projects and R&D projects since the beginning of my career, participating in many of them in previous positions. These projects have been the following: TELWIND (European - H2020), RECOEF (Spanish - Retos), TENSHORES (Spanish - Retos), SEAPEM (Spanish - FEDER-INNTERCONECTA), ARALFUTUR (Spanish - FEDER-INNTERCONECTA), HIPRWIND (European – FP7), FLOATMET (European- FP7) and AZIMUT (European – FP7) among others. I have published several papers in technical conference proceedings and peer-reviewed international journals as well as have participated in several technical conferences and industrial exhibitions.

Currently, I am developing the following projects: FIBREGY (H2020), FIBRE4YARDS (H2020), SEA DEFENCE (EDIDP), SATURN (H2020) and OCEANH2 (Misiones CDTI).

The AVK, as the German professional association for fibre reinforced plastics/composites, represents the interests of producers and processors of reinforced plastics/composites on a national and a European level. The AVK was founded in 1924 and currently has over 220 member companies (in Germany and abroad) and is therefore one of the largest associations in the European composites sector.

It represents members along the entire value-added chain in the area of reinforced plastics. Its members include manufacturers and suppliers of raw materials as well as processing companies, machine-tool manufacturers, engineering firms, testing authorities and scientific

institutions. The association represents both small and medium-sized companies as well as major multinational concerns.

The AVK is integrated into a strong network of German and European partners. For example, it is one of four sponsoring associations of the GKV - the umbrella organisation of the German plastics converters industry and represented in both the executive and board.

In addition, AVK is a foundation member of the German Composites Umbrella organization “Composites Germany”. Furthermore AVK is represented on the board of the European Composites Industry Association (EuCIA).
