I was born in Toledo, Spain, in 1985. I studied Biology at the Complutense University of Madrid, and completed my Master’s and Ph.D. in Neuroscience at the Autonomous University of Madrid.
After my doctorate I moved to Germany for my first postdoctoral position at the Learning and Memory Lab, Ruhr University Bochum, where I worked on hippocampal plasticity mechanisms in rodent models.
From 2017 to 2022 I was based in the United States — first at the Department of Anesthesia and Critical Care at Massachusetts General Hospital (affiliated with Harvard Medical School), and simultaneously at the MIT Picower Institute within the Miller Lab — where I studied the neural dynamics of anesthesia and consciousness using large-scale electrophysiological recordings in non-human primates.
Since 2022 I am back at Ruhr University Bochum, now in the Neural Basis of Learning Lab, where I work on avian electrophysiology and data analysis pipelines. Alongside my research, I am slowly working through a BA in Philosophy at UNED.
Outside the lab, I am interested in the philosophy of mind, open science, and building tools that make data analysis more reproducible and accessible.
