Since last year degree (1998) until now I´ve been involved in different research and technology transfer projects, some of which as coordinator. I have updated technical protocols, participated in the design of experiments, as well as publishing some communications, papers and presentations. All these tasks have been carried out in the framework of research projects in public research centers (mainly UB) but also in collaboration with private companies (Aquarium de Barcelona, AGBAR and Micología Forestal & Aplicada).

Between 1999-2007 I combined positions in local government (City Council of Caldes de Montbui) with other professionals projects.

In 2008 I applied and get approved the R+D project PTQ-08-03-07858 "in rhizosphere microbial analysis of saplings and truffle trees for potential commercial applications" in the announcement of the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness of Spain, Torres Quevedo program.

Between 2009 and 2011 I run the project and PTQ-08-03-07858 joined the Micología Forestal & Aplicada team.

Since 2011 I became technical director of MF&A and some of the developed projects are:

- Technology transfer for the production of evergreen oak trees mycorrhized with Tuber melanosporum with the company Vivero Trufas (Chile).

- CORFO Project for the monitorization of truffle trees orchards using new moleculars techniques (Chile).

Since 2007 I have my own truffle orchard with Tuber melanosporum and T. borchii, with more than 4000 trees.

I have published two books on Truffle Farming in Spanish and English editions:
