This is one of the characteristics that best define Prof. Hernández-Alfaro, as recognized by the Academic Tribunal formed by five prestigious professors, who has been unanimous in emphasizing the brilliant trajectory and solidity of the aspirant's curriculum, as well as his great capacity in the academic and research areas, which have earned him the Full Professorship.
