BIO
I obtained my PhD degree in Physics from the University of the Basque Country (Spain) in 2016. Since then, I have been working as a researcher in National (Spain) and European projects studying materials and their structural and electronic properties using first-principles methods. My research focus is on the interaction of radiation (both light and particles) with materials in application to radiation damage, plasmonics, and photochemistry.
