Postdoctoral researcher in astrophysics and observational astrochemistry, within the project OPENS. I study cold astronomical sources in the interstellar medium such as molecular clouds and starless/prestellar cores, characterising the presence of molecules by using observations in radio and infrared; in particular, I am interested in the detection of organic molecules and precursors of prebiotic molecules. In addition, I am interested in the use of machine learning tecniques and artificial intelligence on these fields.
I obtained my Bachelor’s Degree in Physics from the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM) in 2018, and my Master’s Degree in Astrophysics from the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) in 2019. During 2020 I worked in the SPhinX group of statistical physics at the University of Extremadura (UEx). In the following years I did my PhD in Astrophysics at the Centre for Astrobiology (CAB), obtaining my diploma from the Complutense University of Madrid by early 2025.
