After finishing my undergraduate degree in cognitive psychology in 2013 at UCM, I completed my Master's degree in neuroscience at UCM. I did my Master's thesis with the Laboratory of Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience (LNCyC), of which I am a member since November 2014. In 2015, I started my PhD studies (with the support of a pre-doctoral fellowship granted by UCM) in the research line of intensive alcohol consumption in adolescents, or "binge drinking". The development of my doctoral thesis has focused on the characterization of neurophysiological and neuropsychological profiles of vulnerability to the onset of alcohol consumption in adolescents. Specifically, this line of work is particularly interested in exploring the relationship between abnormalities in functional brain networks of executive functioning and the development of future drinking behaviors. To this end, I have been trained in the use of electrophysiological recording techniques such as EEG and MEG, as well as in various methodologies of signal analysis, among which the study of functional connectivity stands out. In 2021, I obtained my PhD degree cum laude from the UCM.

My current work is focused on the continuation of this line of research, coordinating new projects related to neurobiological factors of vulnerability to consumption. In parallel, I have collaborated in several projects related to the study of electrophysiological profiles in children with ADHD, or characterization of brain activity associated with different modes of formal reasoning.
