Part B. CV SUMMARY (max. 3500 characters, including spaces)

Its main research and teaching activities are related with the management of water and energy for irrigation in semiarid areas under water scarcity conditions. These activities have been carried out in an integrated manner with farmers, regional and local governments, and regional and national enterprises. Internationalisation has also been a priority, as demonstrated by the numerous relations with research groups in Latin America, the Mediterranean countries, Europe and the United States, among others. Regional, national and international dissemination of the research results at scientific and technical level has been carried out with the objective of increasing the transference of knowledge to the productive sector. The main research activities developed can be summarized as: development of Decision Support System (DSS) for the management of water and energy at plot, farm and basin level (crop selection, regulated deficit irrigation management, …); training and transference of tools and knowledge to technicians and farmers, mainly through the Irrigation Advisory Service of Castilla-La Mancha, which was managed by CREA since 1999 to 2015. These activities have been also developed during the participation in several EU projects as NIWASAVE, MERIT, DeSurvey, FLOW-AID and in the actual PRIMA projects SUPROMED (Sustainable production in water limited environments of Mediterranean Agro-Ecosystem) and FIELDS (Addressing the current and Future skill needs for sustainabilty, digitalization, and the bio-Economy in AgricuLture).

He is author of books and specialized monographs, generally in collaboration with other authors. He has more than 100 papers published (Agricultural Water Management, Agronomy Journal, Irrigation Science, Agronomy, J. of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering, Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, etc.) and has been director of seventeen doctoral thesis.

To carry out these tasks, a multi-disciplinary research group has been formed, of which it has been the coordinator until 2017, currently made up of more than eight doctors, to which the incorporation of young researchers must be added according to the needs of each moment. Funding for these lines of work has been obtained from the National and Regional R&D&I Plan, EU projects, contracts with companies and from the University itself.

He has lectured a lot of courses and conferences both national and international and is member of different Working Comities for the development of Standards about irrigation equipment such as CEN, ISO, UNE, etc.

            He is member of different national and international associations related to engineering, irrigation and drainage: ASABE, CIGR, EurAgEng, ICID, AERYD, SEAgIng, etc.
