Bio

Wondered by nature and urged to know how it works, I pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Physics at the U. of Oviedo and UAM. My academic journey continued with a Master’s at IFT, and under the supervision of Luis Labarga, I completed my PhD in 2017. My doctoral research encompassed the full spectrum of neutrino physics for current and future large water-Cherenkov detectors at the Kamioka Observatory (U. of Tokyo), including Super-Kamiokande, T2K, and Hyper-Kamiokande. Following my PhD, I held postdoctoral positions at IFIC, CERN, the U. of Liverpool, DIPC, and the U. of Oviedo. During this time, I broadened my expertise to include other detector technologies, such as liquid argon TPCs (DUNE experiment and ND280), while also developing new studies in phenomenology, focused mainly in atmospheric neutrinos. Currently, my primary focus is on the development of Hyper-Kamiokande, the advancement of novel data analysis techniques, and the pursuit of combined neutrino fits, all aimed at unraveling the remaining unknown properties of neutrinos. In parallel (since 2015 at ICMAT), I continue my training for a future research line that explores the Langlands correspondence and the potential profound connections between fundamental mathematics and physics it brings.
