About Me

I obtained a 5-year BSc in Environmental Sciences from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB, Faculty of Sciences, including specialty in environmental analysis). After completing a master's degree in Meteorology from the University of Barcelona (UB, Physics Faculty), I obtained a civil servant position in the Spanish Meteorological Service (AEMET) in 2010.

Meanwhile, I coursed the 1st and 2nd year of the BSc in Physical Sciences at the UAB and UNED. In 2019 I presented my PhD dissertation in Physics entitled “Precipitation and Mesoscale Circulations in Complex Orographic Areas” at the University of Barcelona, directed by Dr. Bech. With this doctoral thesis I won the IEC Eduard Fontserè award for the best physics thesis. During my PhD I participated in the ATMOUNT project analyzing remote-sensing observations of precipitation and snow. 

At AEMET I worked for a year managing and coordinating the aeronautical Met Offices in Catalonia and from 2012 to 2020 I worked as weather forecaster focusing on aeronautical prediction first and on high impact weather later. Since 2020, I am the head of the instrumentation and systems section of the Catalonia Delegation. 

In 2015 I joined to the Antarctic Group where I combine operational tasks and research. I participated in two Antarctic Campaigns (2016-17, 2017-18) as a weather forecaster at the Spanish Juan Carlos I station, and in one Antarctic Campaign (2018-19) as a scientist in the MICROAIRPOLAR project. I also provided weather forecasts to the Windsled expeditions in Greenland and Antarctica, and I was co-IP of the Year of Polar Prediction (YOPP) endorsed MAWS project.

From 2022 I'm working as a postdoc in the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research (SLF) in Davos, Switzerland. I am conducting research on climate sensitivity of the blowing snow using eddy covariation observations and high-resolution models with snow surface layer (CRYOWRF).
