My professional career began at the Polytechnic University of Madrid, where I studied Industrial Electronics and Automation Engineering. After completing these studies, I pursued a Master's in 'Electronic Systems' at the same university. Obtaining this degree allowed me to access doctoral studies. During the development of my doctoral thesis (PhD in Information and Communication Technologies: Materials and Devices), which was positively evaluated and awarded the distinction of 'Cum Laude,' I conducted various research projects that were published in prestigious scientific journals. These projects involved four years of research in the field of optics and photonics applied to telecommunication devices. As a researcher at the Polytechnic University of Madrid within the framework of my doctoral thesis, I participated in a wide range of activities, including the design of electronic devices, microfabrication processes in a cleanroom, student mentoring, supervision of undergraduate and master's thesis projects, testing and evaluation of devices, as well as data collection and publication. The scientific work presented during my doctoral thesis focused on the design, testing, and implementation of liquid crystal-based devices for optical communications. Among these works, publications in renowned journals such as Scientific Reports stand out. As part of my doctoral studies, I undertook research stays at the Military University of Warsaw (Poland) (one month) and Ghent University (Belgium) (three months), thereby obtaining international certification for my PhD. My scientific experience is complemented by experience in private entities within the technology sector, which contributed to the evolution of my professional career. For several years, I worked as a junior engineer in companies such as Airbus Space and Defense and Airbus Operations. After this stage in Spain, I began my postdoctoral career in Lisbon, Portugal, as part of the research team at INESC MN. In this new phase, I carry out tasks related to the energy transition, including the design of electronic devices for the use of magnetic current sensors (TMS technology) for power measurement in high-voltage lines and second-life batteries. These activities have significant social value, as they are highly relevant to fostering a more sustainable society. The technology developed throughout my research career has been published and disseminated in scientific journals and presented at conferences and other scientific events. My scientific work is currently complemented by the supervision of master's students, the evaluation and admission of new research team members, and the management and leadership of my research team in collaboration with my supervisors.
