On January 2012 I defended my PhD thesis at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Spain). Then I spent five exciting years as a Post-Doctoral Fellow at Clemson University (USA) and the University of Leeds (UK). Thanks to the funding offered by Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid to incorporate "Research Talent" working abroad, I'm back in my home city since April 2017. Currently I work at Centro de Astrobiología (CSIC-INTA) as a "Ramón y Cajal" Senior Fellow.
My main research interest is the study of gas and dust "protoplanetary" disks around young stars. To this end, I make use of a variety of observational techniques including spectro-photometry, spectro-astrometry, interferometry, or high-spatial resolution imaging from space and ground-based telescopes.
