Experience

• Sener Ingeniería y Sistemas	Getxo, Spain
  Thermodynamic Process Engineer	Nov 2022 – Present, Full-time

  • Designed, modeled, simulated and optimized thermodynamic cycles for multiple power generation industrial plants, including combined cycle units, cogenerations, simple Rankine cycles and ORC modules, among others.

  • Monitored the performance of multiple thermo-solar power plants (CSP), with parabolic through collectors (TMO, Spain) and central tower technologies (NOOR3, Morocco).

  • Took part in the decarbonization of different industries implementing the concept of circular economy, optimizing consumptions, and leveraging residual heat sources providing the industries with either electric self supply or grid injection.

  • Led the digitalization of the obsolete tools and methods of the Thermodynamic Process department, transitioning from Microsoft Excel based solutions to automated scripts in Python.

  • Designed and programmed the backend and thermodynamic calculations of a multipurpose monitoring tool for a CSP plant owning client.

• Ph.D. Student at University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU)	Bilbao, Spain
  Industrial Engineer, Department of Energy Engineering	Sep 2023 – Present, Part-time

  • Involved in a part-time Ph.D. program, researching and optimizing supercritical CO₂ cycle configurations for power generation. Giving special importance to exergy and different types of efficiency of the cycle and its components.

  • A first publication has been prepared, contextualizing the state of the art of alternatives to this innovative technology, specifically applied to a real ongoing project in a certain industry, comparing a solution based on a simple Rankine cycle and an ORC module.

  • A second article benchmarking different supercritical CO₂ power cycle configurations is being developed.

  • The third and final article of the thesis will propose an innovative thermodynamic cycle configuration which will allow for heat sources with a wide range of temperatures, to be fully leveraged with a single supercritical CO₂ power cycle.

  • The work done in this program has also been presented at the CNIT14 International Conference, in June 2025 in Zaragoza, Spain.

• Tejados Otazua	Arrieta, Spain
  Industrial Engineer, Modeling and Drafting	Sep 2021 – Present, Part-time

  • Creation, design, and drafting of wooden structures for roofs and coverings.

  • 3D design of joints and machining of beam connections, hip rafters, common rafters, dormers, etc., using CAD software (Fusion 360).

  • Generation, dimensioning and annotating of 2D drawings for the breakdown of structures, preparing the necessary machining for the proper assembly of wooden elements.

• Bisky Team	Bilbao, Spain
  Industrial Engineer, Propulsion Department	Sep 2019 – Jul 2023, Part-time

  • Alongside the university studies, participated in a university rocket team, named Bisky Team.

  • Led the development of N₂O-paraffin combustion based hybrid rocket engines, as the Chief of the Propulsion Department and Project Manager of the M2 hybrid engine.

  • Gained knowledge in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), programming, aerodynamics, avionics, and instrumentation and control.
