Short Biography
I was born and raised in the city of Oviedo, in the north of Spain, where I obtained my bachelor degree in Physics and Mathematics. After graduating I moved to Grenoble (France) to pursue my master’s studies in Nanophysics. For my master project I joined the group of Moira Hocevar at Institut Néel.
I worked in the growth and characterization of III-V semiconductor nanowires for topological quantum computing. I then moved back to Spain and obtained my PhD from the University of the Basque Country in 2023. As a PhD candidate, I worked under the supervision of Deung-Jang Choi and Nicolas Lorente at the Material Physics Center, in the city of San Sebastian. My PhD thesis focused on the study of magnetic impurities on superconducting surfaces using scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM), exploring the emergence of topological states on those systems.
As a postdoctoral researcher, I am currently part of the Otte Lab at TU Delft. We combine STM with electron spin resonance (ESR) to study spin dynamics at the atomic level.
Beyond the lab, in my free time I enjoy painting, reading and watching movies.
