He holds a PhD from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (2011) and an MA (2005) from the Universiteit Utrecht in Linguistics, as well as an M.Sc (2005) from the Universiteit Utrecht and a BA (2001) from the Universidad Pontificia Comillas in Psychology.

He teaches General Linguistics, Theoretical and Applied Syntax, as well as English for Specific Purposes in different bachelor degrees at the UNED (English Studies, Spanish Language and Literature, and Psychology). He also teaches English Grammar and Lexical Analysis in two master degrees at the UNED (English Applied Linguistics and English Literature, respectively).

His research interests cover the syntax of Romance, Germanic and Celtic languages, Language Acquisition (both L1 and L2), Lexicon-Syntax Interface Phenomena (Lexical Semantics), as well as the Lexical-Conceptual interface. He has collaborated in several national research projects (FFI2011-29798-C02-01, FFI2011-23829/FILO, FFI2008-01584/FILO, HUM2005-01728). He has written several articles in national and international journals (Onomázein, Topics in Linguistics, RESLA, Revista de Lingüística y Lenguas Aplicadas, Brathair, among others), as well as one book on Binding Theory (Axac, 2011). He is led a research project (ICP-FUNGRAMKB) at the UNED that is focused on Construction Grammar its computational implementation. The goal is to implement the pronominal constructions of the Spanish language into FunGramKB, a knowledge base for natural language processing.

Currently, he is working on Natural Language Processing studies and their contribution to the comprehension of semantic memory loss in different types of dementia.
