Biography
He obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Physical Sciences from the University of Valencia (2012) and a PhD in Physics cum laude from the University of Valencia (2018). He is currently a Ramón y Cajal researcher (since 2024) in the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics. His research field is Numerical Relativity, which investigates the dynamics of physical systems described by General Relativity (GR) using numerical algorithms and computational resources to obtain their time evolution. In particular, he is interested in studying the dynamics of astrophysical compact objects (black holes and neutron stars), as well as more exotic theoretical compact objects (boson stars and scalarized black holes) and the gravitational-wave signals they emit.
Recently, he has been producing numerical gravitational waveforms from mergers of Proca stars (vector boson stars) to compare them with real gravitational-wave events detected by the LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA detector network, of which he has been a member since 2016. He is also interested in the formation of hairy black holes, either through the superradiant instability or via mergers of boson stars, as well as in extending the boson star family by considering multiple fields and assessing their stability.
He has participated in several research projects at the national, regional, and European levels.
