About me
With nearly 25 years of professional experience, my career has been dedicated to the reliability and diagnostics of rotating machinery. I currently work as a Technical Advisor in Rotating Equipment Reliability at the Petronor refinery (Muskiz-Spain), part of the Repsol Group, focused on the continuous improvement of operational efficiency and asset integrity. I am also pursuing a PhD at the Division of Operation and Maintenance Engineering at Luleå University of Technology (LTU), Sweden. My research focuses on the remaining useful life prediction of centrifugal pumps through advanced monitoring and predictive maintenance strategies. Also, I actively contribute to international forums, conferences, and technical publications, and maintain professional ties with leading mechanical engineers worldwide.
