I work as a post-doc in the Liph Lab of interdisciplinary physics coordinated by Prof. Amos Maritan. My background is on critical phenomena, information theory, and stochastic processes. In particular, I work in how different aspects of phase transitions, self-organized criticality and noise-induced phenemena are releated with the everyday life of biological systems.

Before coming to Padova, I did my Ph.D. in the group of Statistical Physics at the University of Granada, under the supervision of Miguel Ángel Muñoz, working in the study of phase transitions and criticality in the context of living systems. Before that, I did my Bsc and Msc studies of Physics in the same university.
