He worked as a research assistant (Wissenschaftlicher Assistent) in the Department of Physiology at the Ruhr University Bochum (Germany) where he first became interested in the study of behavior. After returning to Valencia he specialized in Psychiatry and began teaching Physiological Psychology in the Faculty of Psychology at the University of Valencia.

In 2007 he published the review “Mindfulness and neurobiology”, which highlighted the most significant advances in this interdisciplinary field. He is a founding member and President of the Association of Mindfulness and Health (AMYS), a non-profit-making organization dedicated to the promotion and training of health professionals who are interested in integrating mindfulness in their clinical practice. He currently runs courses and leads meditation groups, particularly for mental health-care professionals.
