Biography

I performed my PhD (2023) research at the Technical University of Darmstadt (Germany), where I investigated the impact of nuclear reactions and the equation-of-state on the dynamics of core-collapse supernova (CCSN) explosions and the nucleosynthesis by performing state-of-the-art simulations. From January 2024, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Universitat de València (UV), where I contribute with my expertise in nuclear astrophysics to obtain observables from magneto-rotational driven supernovae (MRSN) models in order to address whether they are capable of synthesizing the heaviest elements in the Universe. I have recently been granted with the Juan de la Cierva, which I started December 2025.
