Biosketch

I was born in Madrid where I studied both maths and physics, though I have also enjoyed the universities and daily life of some other awesome places like Vienna, Brussels, Barcelona, or Rio de Janeiro. I did my Ph.D. thesis in mathematical physics under the supervision of Eduardo J.S. Villaseñor (UC3M) and Fernando Barbero (IEM-CSIC), then I was an ERC postodoctoral fellow with Daniel Peralta (ICMAT), and I am now an ICREA postdoctoral fellow with Eva Miranda (UPC).
