PhD in Physics (2013). Currently working as Senior Researcher (Ramón y Cajal fellow) at University of Salamanca (Spain), in the Research Group in Photonics and Laser Applications (ALF-USAL). Previously, I worked for two years as Research Associate at JILA, University of Colorado at Boulder (USA), within a European Marie Curie International Outgoing Fellowship, for the period 2013-2016. Principal Investigator of a “Beca Leonardo” funded by Fundación BBVA (2017).
