BIO:

I graduated in Universidad Autónoma de Madrid in 2008, and did both the Master (2009) and PhD studies (2009-2013) in the Theoretical Condensed Matter department of Universidad Autónoma de Madrid under the supervision of Prof. Carlos Tejedor.  After that I moved to the Theory Division of the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, leaded by Prof. J. I. Cirac,  as a post-doctoral researcher where I spent 5 years. Since August 2018, I am a permanent Research Scientist, affiliated to the Quantum Information and Foundation group (QUINFOG) at the Institute of Fundamental Physics (IFF) of the Spanish Research Council (CSIC).
