I am a Ramón y Cajal Researcher (Tenure Track) at the Condensed Matter Physics Center (IFIMAC), Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM). I lead a new group in Quantum Engineering with driven-dissipative light-matter and mechanical systems. We focus on time-dependent nonlinear resonators and their role in topological and quantum many-body phenomena.

Part of my work involves developing semi-analytical and numerical tools for classical and quantum many-body physics. (see Selected Publications, below, and Repositories for details).

Between 2023 and 2025, I served as a W2 Interim Professor at the University of Konstanz, Germany.

Earlier, I was an ETH Postdoctoral Fellow, working closely with experimental groups at ETH Zürich, Switzerland. Before that, I explored theory and experiments in topological nano-optomechanical systems at AMOLF in Amsterdam. My Ph.D. at UAM focused on cavity QED with organic molecules. More details are available on the CV page.
