Education:

• Ph.D. in Economics, University of Santiago de Compostela (2019). Thesis: History of Unión Fenosa within the framework of the electricity sector 1982-2008. Business, financial evolution and impact of the regulatory framework, supervised by Dr. Xán Carmona Badía.

Research Interests: His work centers on economic and business history with emphasis on Spanish energy sector evolution (particularly Unión Fenosa), Galician print newspaper industry dynamics, working capital management in fisheries and agri-food sectors, blue economy innovation, and university spin-off survival. His methodological approach combines historical analysis with empirical econometrics.

Publication Trends: Recent output (2020-2024) reveals three dominant strands: (1) print media crisis/recovery in Galicia using regional economic data, (2) working capital-performance linkages in specialized sectors (fisheries, cheese, energy), and (3) blue economy transitions and spin-off survival mechanisms. His work frequently employs panel data analysis and longitudinal case studies focused on Iberian contexts.

Scientific Awards: No awards were documented in the source materials.

Advising & Grants: The provided materials indicate no supervised students. Project involvement includes MODESLOW (low-carbon energy transition modeling for Spain) and GESPIC group initiatives on sectoral history.

Research Infrastructure: Active in IDEGA's Galician development research ecosystem and GESPIC's specialized studies of fishing/commerce history, contributing to Atlantic Area Sea Basin stakeholder mapping and regional economic monitoring.
