About me

I'm an astronomer working at the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias.

After finishing my degree in Physics at the University of La Laguna (Spain), I got a competitive international fellowship offered by the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias (IAC) to carry out my Ph.D. at the Università di Padova in Italy. My Ph.D. thesis, entitled ‘Structure and dynamics of the central regions of disc galaxies’, was supervised by Dr. Enrico Maria Corsini at the Università di Padova, and Dr. J. Alfonso L. Aguerri at the IAC. I studied Physics at the University of La Laguna (Spain). After completing my degree I got a competitive international fellowship offered by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) to carry out my Ph.D at the Universita di Padova (Italy). In 2008 I got I did my Ph.D. (2004-2008) at the Università di Padova (Italy) thanks to a competitive international fellowship offered by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC). After my stay in Padova, where I got a degree in cotutorship with the University of La Laguna, I moved to Spain (IAC) in 2008 as a postdoc working within the CONSOLIDER INGENIO 2010-GTC project. In 2012, I got a competitive Juan de la Cierva fellowship at the IAC. Then, in 2013 I moved as a Research Fellow at the University of St Andrews (UK) where I was leading the galaxy morphology group of the ERC-funded SEDmorph project. Since 2017, I am back at the IAC as a Research Fellow and leading as PI the group 'Galaxy evolution in Galaxy Clusters'.
