I completed my PhD in the Departamento Física Teórica de la Materia Condensada, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid in March 2009. My thesis was about light-matter interaction in 2D semiconductor microcavities and quantum dots embedded in microcavities, with Prof. Carlos Tejedor.

After that, I had the great pleasure of living in U.K. for a couple of years (March 2011-2013) after being awarded a Newton International Fellowship at the University of Southampton in the group of Prof. Alexey Kavokin.

Between the summers 2011 and 2013, I enjoyed a Humboldt Research Fellowship for Postdoctoral Researchers (2011-2013) and worked at the Technische Universität München (Germany) with Dr. Michael Hartmann.

At the moment I am a Marie Curie fellow (IEF-Fellowships for career development) at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. My project is called SQUIRREL (Sensing QUantum Information coRRELations).

After that, I will become a Ramón y Cajal researcher (for 5 more years).

I am a strong supporter of the alternative socio-economical system known as a Resource based economy, advocated by The Venus Project and The Zeitgeist Movement among other organizations.
