Ph.D. student on phenomenological Quantum Chromodynamics. Since I was a child I developed an interest in science, which led me to study physics at the University of Santiago de Compostela. Right now my research interests are related to Quantum Chromodynamics at low-x, in particular, with the study of quantum correlations in the interior high energy hadrons or nuclei.

   22nd Particles and Nuclei International Conference 2021 (PANIC 2021)

I’m presently coordinator of the Simulation and Data Analysis Working Group of the R³B collaboration and deputy coordinator of the Simulation and Data Analysis WG for NuSTAR/FAIR since 2007. 

I’m also coordinator of the “Physics simulations for the experiments WP” for ACTAR-TPC since 2014.

I got my physics bachelor at the UAM and my PhD at the USC. I then made postdoctoral stays at LPT Orsay and Universitat Hamburg, to become associate professor in physics at Universidad de Córdoba. Then I was Fellow at CERN to come back to IGFAE at the USC in 2005 with a Ramón y Cajal contract. I became associate professor in 2010 and full professor, and associate executive director of IGFAE, in 2020. I am a theoretical physicist. My main research interest is the behaviour of the strong interaction and of the quantum field theory that describes it, QCD, at large energies and parton densities. Specifically, I work on the description of hadron and nuclear wave functions and of the first instants of a hadronic collision, in the framework of the Color Glass Condensate effective field theory. These aspects are studied nowadays in collisions between protons and nuclei at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, and in the future in electron-ion colliders: the Electron-Ion Collider in the US and the proposed Large Hadron-electron Collider at CERN of which I am member of the coordination committee. I also work on the characterisation of the matter created in such collisions through perturbative probes: jet quenching and quarkonium suppression. I am also interested in high energy cosmic ray physics, on the behaviour of open quantum systems and on the thermalisation and emergence problems in QCD.

My PhD thesis focused on the jet-medium interaction in strongly coupled regime was defended at MIT in 2017. I also hold a PhD degree from ITEP (candidate of science) received in 2015. I had been affiliated with LANL as a distinguished Oppenheimer fellow between 2017 and 2020. Currently, I hold a postdoctoral position in the IGFAE at USC.

My primary research focus is the physics of strong interactions described by the theory of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). I am particularly interested in the manifestations of the fundamental interactions at finite temperature and density. During the last years, I have been actively contributing to the theory of the quark-gluon plasma produced in experiments on heavy-ion collisions, its transport phenomena, and the interaction of this nuclear matter with a variety of probes.
