He is a physicist by training, and has done research work in fluid dynamics, chaos theory and non-linear phenomena at the Complutense University of Madrid. Ángel Rodríguez Lozano has stated that he enjoys popularizing science, because the effort that is required to present a scientific topic helps him put the concepts straight, and gain a deeper understanding of the subject matter.

Ángel Rodríguez Lozano left Radio Nacional in June, 2007, because of a re-structuration of the company, which involved the early retirement of employees older than 52 years.
