Fitxa persona

She obtained her PhD in Physics from the University of Valencia in 2010. Her doctoral research was carried out jointly at the Institute for Corpuscular Physics (IFIC) and the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (Stanford, USA), and focused on flavour physics and CP violation in the BaBar experiment. Her work led to the most precise determination of the CKM matrix angle gamma and to a test of lepton universality with implications for supersymmetric models.

She subsequently held a four-year postdoctoral position at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL, Switzerland), where she worked on the LHCb experiment at CERN, contributing to research and development activities aimed at future particle detectors. She later joined IFIC within the framework of the NEXT collaboration, in a position funded by an ERC Advanced Grant, initiating her research activity in neutrino physics. She was awarded a Marie Skłodowska–Curie Fellowship, which she carried out at the University of Texas at Arlington (USA), contributing to the development of techniques to improve the topological signal of the NEXT experiment.

She is currently a Permanent Lecturer (Profesora Permanente Laboral) at the University of Valencia, affiliated with IFIC. She has served as coordinator of the NEXT–DEMO++ project and is Principal Investigator of a project funded by the SJIGENT Programme of Excellence of the Generalitat Valenciana, focused on the application of machine learning techniques to improve topological identification and energy resolution in particle physics detectors. She also participates in the ERC Synergy Grant BOLD, devoted to the development of barium-tagging techniques for neutrino experiments.

She is the author of more than 500 scientific publications in high-impact journals and has made significant contributions to the BaBar, LHCb and NEXT experiments, combining data analysis, detector development and an intense activity in student training. She has also been involved in science outreach activities and in initiatives on equality and diversity, coordinating the IFIC Equality and Diversity Committee for two years.
