Some personal information:

I was born in a small village named Malcocinado in south Extremadura (Spain), on 23 December 1972. I have lived in different places of Spain, but I consider my hometown Lucena (Cordoba). Although I studied my PhD at Cantabria University (1996-2001), I got my degree in Physics at the University of Salamanca (1990-1995). I incorporated to ING in May 1999, where I worked until November 2000. On this year I moved to programming carrier, working at Eresmas SA. as system administrator and web programmer (PHP, JAVA, C, Perl) until May 2002. I returned to astronomy on Augost 2002, when I started a PostDoc at the AIP. In October 2004 I moved to the Calar Alto Observatory, where I worked as Support Astronomer, until July 2008, when I become Resident Astronomer. In May 2009 I was appointed as ARAID researcher by the Science Department of the Aragon Regional Government, that I shared at a 20% basis with my position at Calar Alto. In August 2010, after the final approval of the CALIFA survey, I returned to Calar Alto to lead it. I recently got a "Ramon y Cajal" Fellow at the Instituto de Astrofisica de Andalucia (IAA), of the Spanish High Research Council (CSIC), that I start the 1st of January 2012.
