Full Professor in Atomic, Molecular, and Nuclear Physics (Department of Theoretical Physics, University of Zaragoza) and Subdirector of the Centre of Astroparticles and High Energy Physics (CAPA).

Degree in Physics from the University of Zaragoza (1991, Extraordinary Award). PhD in Theoretical Physics (1995) on Yang-Mills theories under M. Asorey and F. Falceto. Postdoctoral stay at the University of Oxford (1998–1999).

Member of the Nuclear Physics and Astroparticles Research Group (GIFNA), recognized by the Government of Aragón, and Principal Investigator (PI) for the last 8 years. Research focuses on dark matter (WIMPs, axions), neutrinos (mass, double beta decay), radiation detectors, and underground physics. Has conducted research at the Canfranc Underground Laboratory, CERN, and DESY, and participated in major collaborations such as CAST, NEXT, TREX-DM, and IAXO.

Deputy PI of the Zaragoza group in NEXT (2009–2015) and President of its Internal Board. Since 2017, Deputy PI in IAXO. PI of recent national projects (PID2019-108122GB-C31, PID2022-137268NB-C51) and contributor to “Planes Complementarios,” focused on BabyIAXO and detector development.

Participation in 45 research projects and author of 150+ indexed publications (50 Q1, 30+ Q2, 5 D1), with over 4300 citations (h-index: 31 WoS, 39 Google Scholar). Ranked 951 among most cited Spanish female scientists (CSIC, 2022). Five six-year research periods recognized by CNEAI.


Extensive teaching experience at the University of Zaragoza (and briefly at UCM), covering Physics, Chemistry, and Biotechnology degrees, as well as Master’s and PhD courses, all with excellent evaluations. Supervised 2 PhD theses (3 ongoing), 15 Bachelor’s and 11 Master’s theses. Six five-year teaching periods recognized.

Advisory Committee member of CEFCA (UNIZAR representative). Member of ANECA evaluation committee for “Profesor Titular” (2022–2023). Since 2020, coordinator of the Master’s in Physics of the Universe (previously coordinated the Master’s in Physics and Physical Technology). Co-organizer of the TAE school (CCBPP, 2018 and 2023).

Active in outreach: school visits, public talks, Open Days, Science Immersion Week, and organizer of “Hands on CERN,” European Researchers’ Night, and Dark Matter Day activities at CAPA.
