Professor in the Department of Continuum Mechanics and Structural Theory at the Carlos III University of Madrid (UC3M), secretary of the Young Academy of Spain, and co-founder of the spin-off 60ND. Currently, he develops his research as the principal investigator of prestigious projects such as the ERC StG 4D-BIOMAP and the ERC PoC ISBIOMECH. He leads a laboratory that experimentally develops new multifunctional materials, as well as theoretical formulations that combine mechanics with other physics and their application to problems in bioengineering. He has carried out other research stays in numerous prestigious institutions. Among his hobbies, Daniel likes to travel, play sports, read and, recently, play the piano.
