I was born and raised in A Coruña, Galicia, a coastal city in the northwest of Spain. I’ve been into surfing since I was ten, and the ocean has always been an important part of my daily life.

It was also in A Coruña, at the University of A Coruña, where I began my academic journey, earning a B.Sc. in Chemistry in 2018. I then moved to Toulouse, France, to pursue a M.Sc. in Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling (TCCM) at Paul Sabatier University, graduating in 2020. My growing interest in computational chemistry and scientific software development led me to the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, Italy, where I completed a PhD focused on developing high-performance tools for QM/MM simulations.

Since then, I’ve been working at the interface of quantum chemistry and software engineering, contributing to the Amsterdam Modeling Suite in collaboration with Software for Chemistry & Materials. My research explores molecular modeling, including phenomena like surface-enhanced spectroscopies and long-range energy transfer.

I’m currently transitioning from academia to industry, looking to apply my expertise to real-world challenges in drug discovery and molecular modeling. With growing experience in machine learning and data science, I aim to contribute to interdisciplinary teams working at the intersection of chemistry, software, and data.

On the side, I’ve been exploring investment strategies and pattern recognition techniques in the stock market — a fun way to apply my background in data analysis to a completely different domain.

Eventually, I’d love to return to A Coruña and contribute to scientific and technological innovation in my hometown.
