I'm currently working towards my PhD in the Barcelona High Energy Physics Institue (IFAE). I am part of the Observational Cosmology group, although most of my work is related to astronomical instrumentation and sensor characterization.
I am an Associate Teacher at the Polytechnic University in Catalonia (UPC), where I teach in the ETSAV School of Architecture.
I teach First Year students fundaments of Algebra and Calculus.
I collaborate with the Two-Meter Twin Telescopes (TTT), a brand-new array of 2m and 80cm telescopes at the Teide Observatory. This infrastructure is operated by Light Bridges, a new actor in the public-private ecosystem in the Canary Islands.
