I am currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Condensed Matter Physics at the Universidad de Zaragoza (Spain), where I have developed most of my academic career. My research focuses on nanophotonics, computational electromagnetism, and the optical properties of nanostructured materials.

I obtained my PhD in Physics from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Spain) in 2004, where my doctoral research addressed the theoretical description of photonic properties in artificial opals. Following my PhD, I held several research positions at different institutes of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), including the Institute of Materials Science of Aragón (ICMA) and the Institute of Structure of Matter (IEM). I later joined the Universidad de Zaragoza as faculty, where I progressed through the academic ranks to my present position as Associate Professor.

My research has led to a sustained publication record in leading peer-reviewed journals, including ACS Nano, Advanced Materials, Nano Letters, and Nature Physics. My work has been focused on the understanding of light–matter interactions at the nanoscale, particularly in relation to plasmonic resonances, Fano-like interference effects, and nanostructured optical systems. I have also participated in competitive research projects at European, national and regional levels.

I regularly serve as a reviewer for a wide range of international journals in optics, photonics, and condensed matter physics. I have also contributed to the organization of seminars and scientific meetings, and have participated in outreach activities aimed at promoting physics among students and the broader public.

Teaching is a central component of my academic profile. I have accumulated over 3,000 hours of university-level teaching experience at the Universidad de Zaragoza and the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. My teaching includes undergraduate and graduate courses, combining lectures, laboratory sessions, and project supervision. I have also been involved in course coordination and in the supervision and assessment of undergraduate and master’s theses. My teaching has been consistently positively evaluated, and I have engaged in continuous training in innovative teaching methodologies, including active learning strategies, flipped classroom approaches, and the use of digital tools.

Overall, my academic trajectory reflects a balanced commitment to research, teaching, and service, with a strong interest in linking theoretical modeling to practical applications in nanophotonics and in improving physics education through innovation.
