Cristóbal obtained his PhD in Chemistry from the University of Córdoba (Spain) in 2011 after graduating as a chemist at the University of Córdoba in 2007.  He also has three Master degrees in Fine Chemistry (University of Córdoba, 2008), Crystallography and Crystallization (Menéndez Pelayo International University, 2013) and Expert in Health and Safety with a speciality in Occupational Safety (Formastur, 2008).

He has a strong background in Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD) analysis and crystallization techniques. As a PXRD responsible at Laboratory for Crystallographic Studies, LEC (Spanish National Research Council, CSIC), he has implemented and developed several applications and methodologies for the PXRD laboratory at LEC.

Moreover, he has experience in calorimetric (TGS/DSC), spectroscopy (IR and Raman) and diffraction experiments with Synchrotron radiation for materials characterization.

He has around 40 research articles, book chapers and more than 60 conference communications and has supervised two PhD thesis.

He also belongs in the Organizing Committee and as a teacher/demonstrator of the International School of Crystallization (ISC: http://www.iscgranada.org/,) and the International School of Biological Crystallization (ISBC: http://www.isbcgranada.org/) organized alternatively every year.

Cristóbal is further, since 2017, an organizer and primary instructor in the official CSIC postgraduate course “Basics and Applications of Powder Diffraction: Quantitative and microstructural analysis and Rietveld method”.
