He has joined more than 29 research projects funded by public institutions, being often lead researcher. He has been also funded by private companies and arranged 12 contracts with them. He has published around 130 research articles in highly impact scientific journals (JCR) in Chemical Engineering, Environmental Technology and Material Technolosy areas. He has also 4 patents, 9 book chapters and more than 300 communications to international or national congresses. All of those contribution have captured the attention of scientific-technical comunity in the aforementioned areas, providing him a high number of citations (almost 5000), a h index (Hirsch) of 43 and 5 six-year research periods.
