The brain is a fascinating thing.
I have a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University, where I did motor neuroscience research. I studied voluntary movement control and its interaction with sensory information in the brain.

In my free time, I enjoy playing music, writing short stories, dancing, travelling, and learning languages.
Above all, I enjoy a good science debate.
Short Bio
Before earning a PhD at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), I got my Bachelor’s in Biomedical Engineering at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid in Spain, and a Master’s in Neuroscience at UCL in the UK, supported by a Montemadrid Foundation fellowship. I also did an 8-month research stay in the Carmena Lab at UC Berkeley.
I later received the La Caixa Foundation Fellowship and the BrainHub Presidential Fellowship, to pursue a PhD at CMU conducting neurotechnology research.
Education
BSc in Biomedical Engineering
2014My undergrad dissertation thesis focused on the development of a data acquisition system for avian brain development studies. This minimally invasive monitoring system was designed to record life signs from an unhatched chicken while maintaining a stable, optimal environment aroung the egg, and allowed for brain monitorisation through an EEG system compatible with simultaneous PET imaging.
MSc in Neuroscience
2015During this research-intensive Master's programme, I joined the Neural Computation Lab and investigated behavioural changes in response to the detection of optogenetic stimulation on primary somatosensory cortex. I worked with a cellular-precision microscope to simultaneously stimulate individual neurons through optogenetics while recording calcium transients from the same neuron ensemble.
