I am an Assistant Professor (Ramón y Cajal Fellow) at IGFAE and a member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration. Previously, I obtained my PhD in 2015 at the University of the Balearic Islands to then undertake two postdoctoral appointments at Georgia Tech (USA) during 2016-2018 and Monash University (2018-2020). In 2020, I undertook a Research Assistant Professor position at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, which I left later in the year to join IGFAE as a "La Caixa" Junior Leader Fellow.
Apart from my academic appointments, I was a Senior Data Scientist in Capgemini during 2023-2024 and I briefly collaborated for a few months with F.C. Barcelona during 2023.
My research focuses on the study of compact objects like black holes and neutron stars through gravitational waves. In particular I focus both in the development of gravitational-wave searches for these objects and on the extraction and study of their properties. In particular, I use such information to study how these objects populate our Universe, test gravity in the strong-field regime, unveil previously unobserved gravitational phenomena, study the large-scale structure of the Universe and try to discover new exotic objects beyond black holes and neutron stars.
