EDUCATION:
1997 I
finished High School at I.B. Camilo José Cela, in
Pozuelo de Alarcón, my home town in the suburbs of
2000-2001 I stayed for the academic year 2000-2001 at Boston University (BU), where I took several
Physics courses.
·
During
my stay at BU, I collaborated as an undergraduate student, for four months, in
the Picosecond
Spectroscopy and Near Field Microscopy Labs in Photonics Center (
·
I
also worked as a peer tutor at the University
Resource Center (BU) where I shared my limited skills in the Spanish
language with
2002-2003 I
received a fellowship to collaborate in the Ultrafast
Spectroscopy Lab at Departamento
de Física de Materiales (UAM) under the supervision of Prof.
Luis Viña. There I worked on the setting up of a Hamamatsu Streak Camera
(5ps time resolution) and performed some studies on the transient dynamics of
the excitonic luminescence of GaAs/AlAs multiple quantum wells.
2003 In
July, I finally graduated at
Universidad Autónoma de Madrid in Ciencias Físicas (Óptica y Estructura de la
Materia).
2003-present Right
after graduation I started my PhD. studies at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. I
am now taking PhD courses and my research is centered, within the framework of Prof. Viña’s group, on carrier dynamics and collective
phenomena in bulk semiconductors (yes, we’re back to bulk) such as CdTe and AlxGa1-xAs.
I’m also a proud member of SEMICUAM.

LINKS OF INTEREST (to
me):
- http://www.colorado.edu/physics/2000/index.pl A classic on general stuff, how
laser and a TV works, etc. Don’t miss the Bose-Einstein condensation section.

friends and family.
- http://www.ioffe.ru/SVA/NSM/ Lots of extremely useful data on
semiconductors.
