{{ :voptica_hq_207.jpg?200|}}I graduated in Physics at the University of Salamanca (Spain) in 2014, continuing with a research project based on ballistic imaging in diffuse media, which quickly conditioned myself to continue my career in light in scattering media.

Right after it I started my PhD in Physics at the University of Exeter with Dr. Jacopo Bertolotti and Prof. Bill Barnes on “light in scattering media: active control and the exploration of intensity correlations” defended in April 2018. I continued as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Exeter in the same group up until August 2018.

I  joined the University of Murcia as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with Prof. Pablo Artal where I have been working on the improvement of vision and imaging through eye’s cataracts.

In 2020 I worked as Optical Engineer at Voptica, researching and developing new optical designs of ophthalmic instruments for clinical diagnosis. 

From 2021 to 2023 I researched about a non-invasive approach for the visual correction of cataracts, under a Marie Slodowska Curie Individual Fellowship. 

At this moment, I am a Research Fellow at the Laboratory of Optics at the University of Murcia, currently with a Leonardo Grant in Physics from BBVA.
