Academic & Professional Highlights

PhD Research & Fellowship

I am currently a PhD candidate at the IAC, funded by a "FPI" fellowship from the Spanish Government. My thesis focuses on the impact of stellar rotation on the physical parameters of massive stars.

3D Stellar Physics

My research investigates how 3D geometry and gravity darkening impact our understanding of rapidly rotating O- and B-type stars. I specialize in modeling non-spherical stellar surfaces to improve spectroscopic analysis.

Code Development: SPAMMS

Active developer of SPAMMS, a spectral synthesis tool designed for non-spherical stellar geometries. It integrates LTE and NLTE model atmospheres to provide a more realistic treatment of stellar deformation.

Observational Expertise

Over 100 nights of experience in top-tier telescopes (GTC, NOT, INT, Mercator), specializing in high-resolution spectroscopy and photometry.

Teaching & Mentoring

Teacher at the Universidad de La Laguna. I have experience in observation training at different telescopes. I have also co-supervised different BSc theses.

Publications

I am the first author of 2026 A&A paper regarding the lack of fast rotators in Cygnus OB2. Additionally, I have contributed to multiple studies on exoplanet validation and stellar systems.

My Work

Papers & Publications

Scientific papers in high-impact journals focusing on massive stars and stellar dynamics.

Scientific Software

Development of Python tools for photometric and spectroscopic analysis.

Outreach

Astronomy communication through podcasts, public talks, and open-door events.
