About

Research interests

I am a postdoctoral researcher at IFIMAC (Condensed Matter Physics Center), Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, in the EnVision Group led by Ferry Prins. My research focuses on optical microscopy methods and computational analysis of carrier transport in nanostructured semiconductors.

My Ph.D. in Chemistry combined theoretical modeling, advanced instrumentation, and materials characterization. I developed models to quantify the effects of noise in optical measurements of excited-state transport, designed and built time-resolved optical instruments, and characterized novel optoelectronic semiconductors.

Professional background

My industry work at Bridger Photonics has involved flight-planning software for aerial methane-emissions detection. Much of that work concerns geospatial algorithms that determine how survey aircraft can efficiently cover oil and gas infrastructure to identify leaks.

Earlier in my career, I held roles in management, professional training, business analysis, network operations, desktop publishing, graphic design, and web development. These experiences strengthened my ability to work across technical disciplines, communicate with varied audiences, and approach unfamiliar problems pragmatically.

Personal interests

Outside of my professional work, I pursue photography, digital art, cooking, science communication, 3D printing, and creative writing. These interests often shape how I approach visualization, communication, and technical problem-solving.

I share my life with my spouse and three children, and I am committed to advancing social justice and feminism in both my personal and professional life.
