I am a half Spanish-half French researcher and I grew up in Canary Islands in Spain. Then I went to the university in Madrid (ETSIN-UPM) where I did my studies conducting to the title of Naval and Ocean Engineering (equivalent to a Master degree). I did my first steps into the marine renewable energy when I chose to do a design of a Oscillating Wave Surge Converter as final project of studies. This last one was done in the frame of a exchange programme with the CENTEC in the IST (Lisbon). Since September 2014 I am part of the OceaNET project, an Initial Training Network for early stage researchers focused into the wind and wave energy technology. In the context of this project I am doing a PhD in the synergies and hydrodynamics of combined farms with co-located WTs and WECs at the University College Cork (UCC) in Ireland.
