His research activities are presently centered in two lines: estimation of natural hazards using Bayesian methods, specially applied to seismic, rainfall and ocean wave hazards; and statistical analysis of compositional data, with special emphasis in the geometry of the sample space, the simplex.

He has been leader of several research projects. Most of them on hazard and vulnerability of coastal and port structures under action of severe ocean-waves. At present, he participates actively in a project on compositional data analysis supported by the Spanish ministry for education and science (MINECO).
