Biography
- Professor of Physics at the University of Valencia (UV) and researcher of the Instituto de Física Corpuscular (IFIC), a joint center of the UV and the Spanish Research Council (CSIC). Previous positions include Associate Professor (2006-2019), Ramón y Cajal Fellow (2002-06), Postdoctoral Fellow at INFN (Pisa, 2000-2002), and Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at IN2P3-Sorbonne Université (Paris, 1998-2000).
- Education: Graduated in Physics in 1992 at the UV, PhD with European Diploma in 1997, also at the UV. Has attended a dozen of international postgraduate schools.
- Main research lines are in particle physics and detectors in major high-energy experiments. These include in the past DELPHI at CERN’s LEP (1993-1999) and BaBar at Stanford’s PEP-II electron-positron colliders (1998-), and today LHCb at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (2013-). Key words of past and present research activities are: CERN, SLAC, LEP, B factory, LHC, DELPHI, BaBar, LHCb, electroweak interactions, flavour physics, CP violation, rare decays, discrete symmetries, standard model, QCD, long-lived particles, g-2/EDM.
- Current main physics interests include QCD and spin physics of charm and beauty baryons, radiative rare decays of beauty hadrons, g-2 and electric dipole moments (EDM) of short-lived particles, and the search for exotic long-lived particles. Also interested in microelectronics for particle detectors, and in making a reality the construction and integration of a novel fixed-target device for the dedicated study of g-2 and EDM of short-lived particles at the LHC.
- Main (co-)author of about 120 articles published in high-impact per-review journals, among them two physics breakthroughs (the discovery of CP violation in 2001 and the observation of time reversal violation in 2012 in B mesons), and several reviews of the field. Large number of talks at international conferences, workshops and seminars, among the latter two CERN EP and one SLAC Experimental seminars, one Heidelberg Physics Colloquium, and one at the 50 Years of CP Violation celebration.
- Has participated in about 30 research projects funded by national, regional and European public entities, half as principal investigator. Advised 6 PhD theses (plus 3 in progress), 12 MSc final projects, all receiving the highest marks, and 4 postdoctoral researchers. Usual referee of different per-review journals, including Phys. Lett. B, Eur. Phys. J. C, Phys. Rev. D., New J. Phys., and Chin. Phys. C. Contributed to the organization of about 15 international scientific events.
- Present and past institutional and scientific responsibilities include: head of the Atomic, Molecular and Nuclear Physics Department at UV; member of the LHCb Editorial Board; member of the CERN Physics Beyond Colliders Study Group; member of the LHCb Speakers Bureau; secretary of the Physics Faculty at UV; member of the BaBar Publication Board; and several convenership at the BaBar experiment. Mother tongues are Catalan and Spanish, speaks/reads/writes English and French (ILR4), and Italian (ILR3).
