He joined the Departamento de Comunicaciones at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia in 1993, where he was engaged to the Optical and Quantum Communications Group. From 1994 to 1998 he was a Lecturer at the Telecommunications Engineering Faculty and he became an Associate Professor since 1999. He is co-author of more than 120 papers in journals and international conferences in the fields of Optical Delay Line Filters, Fiber Bragg Gratings, Microwave Photonics, WDM and SCM ligthwave systems. He has been leader of national projects, related with Metro and Access optical Networks and Optical Code Division Multiple Access (OCDMA), and he has been leader of particular work packages in IST-LABELS (Ligthwave Architectures for the processing of Broadband Electronics Signals), or GLAMOROUS (Glass-based modulators, Routers and Switches). His current technical interests include Microwave Photonics, Complex Fiber Bragg Grating Fabrication for optical signal processing applications, WDM-SCM networks, RoF systems, and OCDMA techniques.
