My research in Numerical Linear Algebra and Matrix Theory has been funded continuosly since the year 2000 as Principal Investigator of several research grants from the Ministerios de Educación y Ciencia, Ciencia y Tecnología, Ciencia e Innovación, and Economía y Competitividad of Spain. In addition, I have participated in several leading joint initiatives in Mathematics in Spain as, for instance, SIMUMAT and i-MATH Ingenio Mathematica. I am also member of the Spanish Network ALAMA for Linear Algebra, Matrix Analysis and its Applications.

I list only the most relevant research grants that  I have obtained as Principal Investigator in my career.
