Blanca Parga Landa earned her degree in Naval Architecture and Engineering (1984) from the Higher Technical School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering at the Technical University of Madrid (UPM). She later received her Ph.D. in Naval Architecture and Engineering from the same institution with her dissertation, Modeling of Composite Materials at High Strain Rates (1988). Her doctoral work was awarded Cum Laude honors and received the UPM Extraordinary Doctoral Award. In recognition of her research contributions, she was invited to participate in the outreach program for foreign researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the United States.

In 1989, she earned tenure at UPM through a competitive examination, attaining the rank of Profesor Titular (Associate Professor). She has served as a researcher and Secretary of the COINCIDENTE program in materials research projects for the Spanish Ministry of Defense.

Dr. Parga Landa has led numerous national and international research projects and has served as an advisor to ASTILLEROS ESPAÑOLES, now NAVANTIA. She later earned a Master's Degree in Law from the Complutense University of Madrid and completed her legal training at the School of Legal Practice in 2016. In 2017, she obtained a specialization in Environmental Law, graduating first in her class.

Her work in water resources led her to pursue further studies, culminating in a Master's Degree in the Integrated Water Cycle: Resource Planning, Quality, and Treatment (UPM, 2024).

Dr. Parga Landa has received six positively evaluated five-year teaching periods and four six-year research evaluations. She has taught a wide range of courses in Materials Science and Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, and Organizational Management at the Higher Technical School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. She has also taught Water Resources and Construction Materials in the Master's Program in Circular Economy (MUEC) at UPM. Since 2018, she has served as Coordinating Professor (Profesor Titular) for Quality, Safety, and Environmental Protection in the undergraduate programs in Naval Architecture and Maritime Engineering.

She is the author of more than fifty publications, including peer-reviewed journal articles, book chapters, conference papers, and one book. She also holds four national and international patents. Since 2021, she has served as the Spanish Ambassador to the CLINTEL International Foundation on Climate Intelligence. She is the founder and current chair of the Ibero-American Climate and Energy Forum (FICE). Additionally, she is a member of the Association of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (AINE), the Spanish Association for Quality (AEC), and the Association of Climate Realists (ACR).

Her experience contributing to the drafting of Law 9/2018, which transposed European Directive 2014/52/EU into Spanish law, enabled her to identify errors in the official Spanish translations of European legislation. She has also identified translation errors in Spanish versions of IPCC documents.

Dr. Parga Landa recently published her first solo-authored book, currently available in Spanish, titled Un análisis crítico del tratamiento de la recarga artificial de acuíferos en la Directiva Marco del Agua (A Critical Analysis of the Treatment of Artificial Aquifer Recharge in the Water Framework Directive). In the book, she argues that recent hydrological droughts in Spain have been caused not by climate change but by the implementation of the Water Framework Directive, which she contends was influenced by United Nations environmental policies.

Dr. Parga Landa considers her legal challenge to COVID-19 regulations before the Spanish Supreme Court to be a public service to Spain. More recently, she has challenged the reinterpretation of the Valley of the Fallen before the same court. Since July 25, 2025, she has also advocated for a review of the European Court of Human Rights ruling that recognized the right to a healthy climate as a human right in Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz and Others v. Switzerland (Application No. 53600/20, Grand Chamber, April 9, 2024).
