Degree in Marine Science and Chemical Engineering from the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, and Master’s in Port and Coastal Engineering.
He has developed research at prestigious institutions including LODYC (Paris VI), GHER (Liège), SOC (UK), and the Marine Institute (Ireland). As co-founder and CEO of Elittoral, he leads R&D activities focused on coastal resilience, environmental risk assessment, and offshore sustainability.
He is also member of the Atlantic Maritime Emergency Association, a strategic initiative aiming to establish the Canary Islands as a central logistical and technological hub for maritime emergency response in the Mid-Atlantic region, particularly along the western coast of Africa. The Association coordinates and promotes capabilities for responding to oil spills, vessel accidents, and medical evacuations, while exporting know-how and solutions to countries in WACA region.
Our participation in the 4th European Symposium by NEREUS Regions under the topic “The Mid Atlantic Ocean challenges in the human and environmental risks prevention” highlights the relevance of integrating Atlantic emergency response capacities into the European space ecosystem. His vision reinforces the Canary Islands as a key geostrategic node for innovation, monitoring, and resilience in a shared oceanic context.
