Data analysis

After graduating in Biomedical Engineering from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid in 2017, I moved to Munich to pursue the Elite MSc in Neuroengineering at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). I conducted my master’s thesis at the PainLab Munich research group, graduating with honors in 2019.

I continued my academic journey within the same group, completing a PhD in the Systemic Neurosciences program at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. My dissertation, Resting state EEG biomarkers in translational neuroscience, focused on identifying non-invasive brain biomarkers. I obtained my PhD in 2023.

In 2024, I worked as a Signal Engineer at Bitsphi Diagnosis, and in 2025, I joined C3N with a Juan de la Cierva postdoctoral fellowship to investigate non-invasive excitation/inhibition mechanisms in the continuum of Alzheimer’s disease.

As a researcher, my main goal is to develop non-invasive brain biomarkers to improve the diagnosis, stratification, and treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Additionally, I am an advocate for the open science movement, promoting transparency, collaboration, and the accessibility of scientific knowledge.
