Miguel has an Integrated Master’s degree (MEng) in Chemical Engineering awarded by the University of Valencia, Spain, and a PhD in Chemical and Environmental Engineering awarded by the University of Zaragoza, Spain.

His PhD research was focused on hydrogen production with CO2 capture by steam reforming of CH4coupled with a Chemical-Looping Combustion system. After his PhD, Miguel worked 3 years as a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Nottingham. At Nottingham he performed research on biomass combustion in fluidized bed systems. After this, Miguel spent five and a half years working as a research associate at the Centre for Renewable Energy Systems Technology (CREST) at Loughborough University. At Loughborough, Miguel carried out the modelling and optimisation of a 4th generation district heating system supplied with heat generated from renewable sources and a selection of different types of thermal energy storage systems. He found that providing heat by means of the proposed smart energy systems can significantly reduce the levelized cost of heat while both reducing/removing CO2 emissions and maximising the energy efficiency of the system.
