Elas F. Combarroholds degrees from the University of Oviedo (Spain) in both mathematics (1997, award for second highest grades in the country) and computer science (2002, award for highest grades in the country). After carrying out several stays as a visiting researcher at the Novosibirsk State University (Russia), he obtained a PhD in mathematics (Oviedo, 2001) with a dissertation on the properties of some computable predicates under the supervision of Prof. Andrey Morozov and Prof. Consuelo Martnez.

Since 2009, Elas F. Combarro has been a tenured associate professor at the Computer Science Department of the University of Oviedo. He has published more than 50 research papers in international journals on topics such as quantum computing, computability theory, machine learning, fuzzy measures, and computational algebra. His current research focuses on the application of quantum computing to algebraic, optimization, and machine-learning problems.

In 2020 and 2022, he was a Cooperation Associate at CERN openlab. Currently, he is Spains representative on the Advisory Board of the CERN Quantum Technology Initiative.
