Degree in Physics from the University of Zaragoza in 1991 with an Extraordinary Award. Completed in 1995 my PhD in Theoretical Physics on Yang-Mills Theories, under the supervision of M. Asorey and F. Falceto. Since then, different teaching positions in the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Zaragoza with a short period in the U. Complutense . During 1998 and 1999, Postdoctoral stay at the University of Oxford to work on Membrane Theory and AdS/CFT correspondence.

Member of the Nuclear Physics and Astroparticles Research Group (GIFNA), recognized by the Government of Aragon, being the Principal Investigator (PI) for the last four years. My research focuses on Dark Matter in the Universe (WIMPs, Axions), Neutrinos (mass, Double Beta Decay), Radiation Detectors, and Underground Physics. I have conducted research at the Canfranc Underground Laboratory (associate member), CERN, and DESY, and have participated in numerous national and international projects and collaborations, including CAST (CERN Axion Solar Telescope), NEXT (Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon TPC), TREX-DM (search for low-mass WIMPs), and IAXO (International Axion Observatory).

During the Zaragoza group's participation in the NEXT experiment (2009-2015), deputy PI of the group of Zaragoza,  and Internal Board president of the NEXT collaboration. Since the creation of the IAXO collaboration in 2017,  deputy PI of the Zaragoza group.  PI of our group’s last two national projects (PID2019-108122GB-C31 and PID2022-137268NB-C51) and one of the lines in the “Planes Complementarios” project, all focused on constructing the helioscope BabyIAXO and its detector prototypes.

I have participated in 45 research projects at the international, national, and regional levels and published over 150 indexed articles, including 50 in Q1 journals, more than 30 in Q2 journals, and 5 in D1 journals, which  have received over 4300 citations, resulting in an h-index of 31 (Web of Science) and 39 (Google Scholar).  Ranked 951 among the most cited Spanish female scientists (2022 CSIC ranking). 5 six-year research periods recognized by CNEAI.

Member of the local organizing committee for MPGD2013, Patras Workshop 2015, IMFP 2021,  LIDINE 2023, and the 1st Planes Complementarios Meeting 2024.
Member of the Advisory Committee of Centro de Estudios de Física del Cosmos de Aragón (CEFCA), representing UNIZAR.

Full Professor in the area of Atomic, Molecular, and Nuclear Physics (Department of Theoretical Physics, University of Zaragoza), teaching courses in Physics, Chemistry, and Biotechnology degrees, as well as doctoral and master's courses, all with outstanding positive evaluations. I have supervised two PhD theses (with three more in preparation) and 15 Bachelor's and 11 Master's theses. Recognized 6 five-year teaching periods.

Member of the evaluation committee of ANECA for “Profesor Titular” in 2022 and 2023. Since 2020, coordinator of the Master's in Physics of the Universe at the University of Zaragoza, having previously coordinated the Master's in Physics and Physical Technology for two years. Also involved in organizing the TAE school at the CCBPP in 2018 and 2023.

Engaged in numerous outreach activities, including programs from the Faculty of Sciences, visits and talks at secondary education centers, Open Days, and Science Immersion Week. Organizer of the “Hands on CERN” activity, European Researchers' Night and “Dark Matter Day” activities in CAPA.
