Some history

I am a Ramon y Cajal fellow at the Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the University of Barcelona. I was until 2020 a Senior Lecturer at the Nuclear Theory Group of the University of Surrey. Previously, I held an STFC Advanced (renamed Rutherford) Fellowship (2011-2016), a Marie Curie Intra-Europen Fellowship (2009-2011) at Surrey, and a 2-year postdoctoral position at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (Michigan State University), where I worked in collaboration with Prof. Pawel Danielewicz . One of our major research goals is to obtain a time-dependent Green's functions approach for nuclear reactions, including the effect of beyond mean-field correlations.

Before moving to Michigan, I was a PhD student at the Dept. d'Estructura i Constituents de la Materia of the University of Barcelona, where I worked at the Atomic, Molecular and Nuclear Physics Group under the supervision of Artur Polls and Angels Ramos.
