In 2002 PhD, Classical Philology, University of the Basque Country. Nowadays assistant teacher in the University of the Basque Country, in the Area of Indo-European Linguistics. The main field of research has been the Western Hispania in Antiquity, mainly the onomastic features. Predoctoral stay at the Institut Ausonius of Bordeaux, where he engaged with a group of scholars who shared a project: the Roman Lusitania (in 2003 Atlas antroponímico de la Lusitania romana). The contact with the group was renewed by a postdoctoral fellowship, about Gaulish onomastics update.

He participates in the research group for developing the Hesperia online databank, dedicated to the cataloging of the documents related with the pre-roman languages of ancient Iberia.

The exciting world of language reconstruction (protolanguages, poorly attested languages) has led him to deal with some issues in Romance historical linguistics and the method problems involved in their study.
