Tenured professor of Physics of the University of Valencia (Spain). His research focuses on the study of relativistic fluids in different astrophysical scenarios using relativistic hydrodynamics and magnetohydrodynamics numerical simulations. Among the scenarios he studies, there are the jets generated in active galactic nuclei or in binary X-ray or gamma ray stars. He has been the main researcher in different proposals of supercomputer calculations and of an international observation project with the Russian space telescope Radioastron.
