My work experience and interests are magnetism and spin-dependence electron transport (spintronics) in mesoscopic systems and dynamical systems in a general sense. I believe science and technology must connect with society; I have pursued my goal collaborating with both research labs and companies, teaching at universities and schools, and participating in social and cooperation projects. I studied a degree in Mathematics along with a degree in Telecommunication engineering at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC). I did my master's thesis at the Institute of Photonic Sciences of Barcelona (ICFO) and later on I earned my PhD in Physics at the University of Barcelona (UB) working on experimental magnetism (2009). During my postdoctoral training at New York University (NYU) I began with an interdisciplinary project with the Courant Institute for Mathematical Sciences and the Physics Department at NYU that intended to implement biological inspired computations with nanoscale magnetic systems. I obtained funding for the project; first through a BP grant from the Catalan Government and later on through a Marie Curie IOF action from the European Commission. In 2014 I gained a postdoctoral fellow through a COFUND action (2 years) In Barcelona and I went to UB where I began to develop my research on experimental magnetism. In 2015 I gained a Ramón y Cajal fellowship and I toke the position at ICMAB-CSIC. In 2018, I moved the RyC contract to University of Barcelona and in 2021 I gained an assistant professor position at UB where I am now developing my research- info
