About

MSc in Civil Engineering and MSc in Coastal Engineering. Currently, PhD candidate at the Environmental Hydraulics Institute of the University of Cantabria (IHCantabria). His research is centered on developing innovative methodologies to characterize compound wave events in coastal areas and their interaction with coastal infrastructure, particularly in the context of climate change. David has co-authored several scientific papers; presented his work at international and national conferences; and actively contributed to research, innovation, and development projects. The methodology developed during his PhD is used by the Spanish Ministry of Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge to project climate change effects on coastal structures along the Spanish coastline. In 2022, he received the Modesto Vigueras Award from the Spanish Section of The World Association for Waterborne Transport Infrastructure (PIANC), recognizing young professionals under the age of 40 for their significant contributions to the scientific and technical community.
