Curriculum
Brief CV
Civil Engineer, MsC and PhD in Construction/Structural Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (2003, Outstanding Doctorate Award). He taught at UPC from 2001 to 2003, when he joined UIB. Professor in Construction Engineering, specializing in structural engineering, teaching diverse courses related to construction and structural engineering in different degrees and Masters at UIB. He co-founded the YouTube channel 'Ingenia-ConStruct,' specialized in education and dissemination on structural engineering, which has accumulated over 1.9 million views.
His research focuses on structural engineering, with more than 85 published papers and collaborations in books or codes of practice, and more than 165 participations in congresses and conferences. Currently, his research primarily focuses on the behaviour of deteriorated concrete structures and the study of possible applications of shape memory alloys, and other advanced materials, in the structural field, especially for strengthening existing structures.
He collaborated in drafting the Spanish Structural Concrete Code (2008) and has worked with various companies and institutions nationally and in the Balearic Islands on more than 15 technology transfer projects and 10 research projects. He is a member of the Red Leonardo of the BBVA Foundation in the engineering field (promotion 2018).
Additionally, he has conducted research stays at the University of Toronto (Canada) and at EMPA (Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology), and a teaching stay in Colombia. He has also worked as a civil engineer specialized in water, sanitation, and construction in Guinea-Conakry, Niger, Togo, India, Paraguay, El Salvador, and East Timor, within the scope of international development cooperation or humanitarian action.
He has extensive experience in academic management and is currently serving as Deputy Director of the Department of Industrial and Construction Engineering since 2020. Previously, he has held other management responsibilities, such as Coordinator of the Academic Committee of the PhD Program in Physics at the UIB (2018–2021), Associate Vice-Rector for University Infrastructure (2008–2012), Deputy Director of the Department of Physics (2007–2008), and Director of the Miquel Llabrés Feliu Foundation Chair (2007–2010).
He has also played an active role in the management of associations and initiatives beyond the university: he is a member of the Executive Committee of SMAR, of the Editorial Board of the journal Hormigón y Acero (ACHE), and serves on the advisory editorial boards of Construction and Building Materials (Elsevier) and Structural Concrete (fib). Previously, he was a member of the Board of the Spanish Association for Structural Engineering (ACHE) between 2017 and 2025, and Vice President from 2017 to 2022.
Summary of scientific production/quality indicators (June 2025): Four recognized 'six-years research periods' (2001-2024, consecutive) and one six-years of technology transfer period (2004-2009). h-index = 31 (Google Scholar) - h = 28 (Scopus). 3947 citations (Google Scholar) - 2622 citations (Scopus). 4 doctoral theses directed or co-directed already completed, plus 3 doctoral theses in progress. He is included in the 2023 and 2024 Stanford University/Elsevier list of the Top 2% of Scientists worldwide according to standardized citation indicators.
