As a researcher, Xerome conducts data gathering and analysis as well as contributes to outputs from conceptualization to completion, in both technical and policy projects.

Xerome has been always interested in energy efficiency in buildings since starting university, as he studied a Bachelor’s degree in Energy Engineering at the University of Vigo (2013-2017), carrying out a Post-Occupation evaluation of Lugo’s market, in NW Spain. He then continued his education with a Master’s degree in Industrial Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Valencia, from which he graduated in September 2019. For his final thesis, he conducted a feasibility study on the conversion of an educational building into a nZEB.

Beyond energy performance of buildings, Xerome is passionate about football, ice hockey, languages and taking part in multicultural events, as a member of a folk group in his hometown, at the border with Portugal.
