Degree in Environmental Sciences from the UAM (2005) and PhD in Agro-environmental Technology from the UPM (2010), where he is University Professor since 2024 (Dept. of Chemistry and Agricultural Analysis of the ETSIAAB). His research activity, besides being focused on the study and analysis of mitigation strategies of reactive N losses associated with agricultural production in real field conditions, has sought a more integrated view of a complex problem such as the emission of GHGs in the agri-food system and other nitrogen compounds and their mitigation. Without abandoning the generation of quality empirical data at plot scale, he has led other studies focused on provincial, river basin, national and large region (Mediterranean) scales. He has delved into methodologies such as meta-analysis, modeling and nutrient balances. In addition, he is particularly interested in the impact that changes in habits, both in production and consumption, produce on the increase in the sustainability of agri-food systems, at different scales. As a result of this work, he has published more than 70 contributions in JCR journals, with a WoS h-index of 33 and more than 4000 citations according to Web of Science (January 2025). He is on the Stanford list of most cited researchers.

Since 2009, he has participated in more than 20 national and international competitive research projects. Being Principal Investigator of competitive projects with the aim of studying and proposing agroecosystem management strategies that lead to lower agri-environmental impacts. I highlight the European project AgroGreen-SUDOE (https://agrogreensudoe.org/). I have participated in 14 research contracts with companies in the sector (coordinating 8 of them). His research activity through international projects and research stays has woven a dense international research network with groups from more than 10 countries (USA, UK, France, Kenya, Costa Rica, Brazil, Chile, Ethiopia, Germany, Netherlands and China). He has been an active participant in international initiatives linked to his field of work such as “The Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases” and the global initiative “INMS: Towards the Establishment of an International Nitrogen Management System”. He has been Coordinator of the REMEDIA Network between 2022 and 2024, and is currently co-leader of the revision process of the UNECE TFRN Guidance for Ammonia Emission Reduction in Agriculture. Reviewer and, from 2025, lead author of the IPCC, he is passionate about the dissemination of science to society.
