About me

I work as a distinguished Researcher at the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM), based at the Weapons Factory campus in Toledo. I joined the university through a Beatriz Galindo Junior fellowship from the Spanish Ministry of Universities, which has allowed me to move to Toledo to continue my research on Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). In addition to my research, I teach Optics within the bachelor in Physics program at UCLM.

Academic Background:

I began my career at the University of Murcia, graduating with a BSc in Physics in 2019. I then completed an interuniversity Master’s degree in Photonics Science in Barcelona, involving the UB, UPC, UAB, and ICFO.

I earned my PhD in Physics from the University of Kent (UK) under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions. My doctoral thesis, titled "Towards high-speed Swept Source Optical Coherence Tomography", [link] focused on developing novel light source architectures to push the limits of imaging speed. During my PhD, I was a researcher for the European project "Next Generation of Tunable Lasers for Optical Coherence Tomography,"  [link] supervised by Prof. Adrian Podoleanu. 

Research Focus: 

My work focuses on developing advanced swept sources for Swept-Source OCT (SS-OCT). OCT is a non-invasive imaging technique used to generate high-resolution, 3D cross-sectional images. Since the tunable laser source determines image quality and acquisition speed, my research addresses the challenges of ultra-high-speed imaging through:

My goal at UCLM is to help overcome obstacles in high-speed OCT to improve light sources for imaging applications
