About
I am an experimental physicist at the Institut de Física Corpuscular (IFIC), working in astroparticle physics within the VEGA group. My research interests include multi-messenger astronomy, neutrinos, gamma rays and cosmic rays.
I am involved in the KM3NeT neutrino telescope and HAWC gamma-ray observatory.
I am currently the PI of the project: "Telescopios de neutrinos como herramienta de exploración de física fundamental y el universo multimensajero en el IFIC" funded by AEI - MCIN.
Research Interests
- Multi-messenger astronomy
- Neutrino astrophysics
- High-energy gamma rays
- Cosmic rays
- KM3NeT neutrino telescope
- Detector calibration and instrumentation
