I'm currently an Assistant Professor at Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya, Spain. I was recently awarded a research project from the Spanish government "Proyectos Generacion de Conocimiento 2022" (PID2022-143012NA-I00) with the title "Kinetic equations for high dimensional and nonlocal interacting particle systems: Macroscopic limits, analysis and numerical methods (macroKNIGHTs) " from 2023 to 2026.
Previously:
2022-2023 Postdoctoral research associate at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford working with Jose A. Carrillo as part of the ERC Advanced Grant Nonlocal-CPD, and an Assistant Professor (on leave) at Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (Spain) in the Department of Mathematics.
2021-2022 Postdoctoral research fellow at Basque Center for Applied Mathematics (BCAM) working together with Elena Akhmatskaya and Jose A. Carrillo, as part of the “BCAM Severo Ochoa Strategic Lab on Modelling with PDEs in Mathematical Biology".
2020-2021 I was awarded a Fondation Sciences Mathematiques de Paris (FSMP) fellowship to continue working in Paris with Benoit Perthame at Laboratory Jacques-Louis Lions (Sorbonne Universite)
2019-2020 Postdoctoral research fellow at Laboratory Jacques-Louis Lions (Sorbonne Universite) in Paris, where I worked with Luis Almeida.
2015-2019 PhD student at the Maxwell Institute Graduate School for Analysis and its Applications, together with the University of Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, U.K. where I worked with Heiko Gimperlein and Kevin J. Painter.
