Doctor by the Universidad de La Laguna with the thesis Síntesis y caracterización de materiales con estructura tipo perovskita para pilas de combustible de óxido sólido de temperatura intermedia= Synthesis and characterisation of perovskite-type structure materials for intermidiate temperature solid oxide fuel cells 2007. Supervised by Dr. Pedro Felipe Núñez Coello, Dr. Juan Carlos Ruiz-Morales.

My main line of work focuses on reorienting the training of future teachers in the field of Didactics of Experimental Sciences, especially in their chemical education, taking into account the benefit of an ecosocial education as well as the promotion of knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors suitable for promoting peace, security, and sustainable development.
