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 explored the intersection of theoretical modeling, advanced instrumentation, and material 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

I am also a Software Engineer at Bridger Photonics, where I work on flight planning software for aerial methane emissions detection. My focus is on geospatial algorithms — route optimization, clustering, and trajectory planning — that determine how survey aircraft efficiently cover oil and gas infrastructure to identify leaks.

Previously, I held roles in management, professional training, business analysis, network operations, desktop publishing, graphic design, and web development. These experiences have provided me with a broad skill set, a practical approach to problem-solving, and strong communication abilities.

Personal interests

Outside of research, I pursue photography, digital art, cooking, science communication, 3D printing, and creative writing. These activities contribute to my creative thinking and often provide new perspectives in my scientific work.

I share my life with my spouse and three children. I am committed to social justice and feminism in both my personal life and my work in science.
