My career in six key points

MSc in Astrophysics

I completed my Master’s degree in Astrophysics at the Universidad de La Laguna, a leading institution in astronomy research together with the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias.

Reseach Interest

I focus on the evolution and dynamics of massive stars, particularly in multiple systems, exploring stellar rotation and its effects. My work includes photometric and spectroscopic analysis, along with developing software for astronomical observations and eclipsing binary studies.

Teaching & Supervising

I currently hold a position as an Assistant Professor at the Universidad de La Laguna, where I contribute to academic teaching and mentoring. Additionally, I am actively co-supervising a BSc thesis, fostering the new generation of researchers in astrophysics.

Observational Time

I have conducted extensive observations at the Observatorio del Teide and the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, gathering more than 116 nights of telescope time.

Code Development

I developed PhotBin, a set of scripts for reducing, astrometrizing, and efficient analysis of photometric data of binary star systems. I also developed SpecBlur, a code for signal-to-noise and broadening degradation of spectra. Currently, I'm working on SPAMMS, a spectroscopic analysis tool that incorporates 3D geometry and surface effects to improve synthetic spectra calculations.

Projects

I am currently working with the Physical Properties and Evolution of Massive Stars group at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), focusing on stellar rotation and its 3D effects in spectra. Additionally, I am collaborating on the NAVOO project with the Universidade de Vigo, focusing on the study and refinement of physical parameters in AM CVn systems.
