Biography
I have a degree in Physics from the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona. My PhD was on light-emission from silicon nanocrystals at the Barcelona Microelectronics Institute (CSIC). In 2009 I joined the University of Birmingham as a Research Fellow and worked on size-selected metallic nanoparticles, atomic-probe characterisation techniques and ultra-fast light-matter interaction processes in semiconductor nanostrctures. I joined the Quantum Photonics group in Bristol in 2012 as a Senior Research Associate and have been leading the effort in low temperature photonics since. In 2016 I became a Lecturer at the Quantum Engineering Centre for Doctoral Training.
Teaching
I am the unit director for the postgraduate modules of Topics in Quantum Engineering, Quantum Systems Engineering, Individual Project B ad Cohort Project. Before that I taught the units of Quantum Platforms and Nanofabrication for Quantum Technologies. These are all QECDT modules, although some are also offered in the MSc in Optoelectronics and Quantum Technologies degree.
