My PhD project, completed in January 2012, was focused on the study of electronic transport properties of low-dimensional nanostructures made of bismuth and  ferromagnetic metals and the magnetization dynamics properties of different ferromagnetic nanostructures, leading to the publication of 8 papers.
In June 2012, I moved to the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) in Saclay (France), as a postdoctoral researcher founded by a Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowship to work with Dr. Michel Viret on a project called "AtomicFMR" based on the electrical detection of ferromagnetic resonance in nanostructures and atomic contacts. I learnt a unique technique that combines electrical detection of ferromagnetic resonance with the controlled breaking of the nanostructures by the mechanically controllable break junction technique to stabilize atomic contacts, being able to study the dynamical magnetic properties of several systems, in particular, individual domain walls in ferromagnetic nanostructures and the ac and dc spin transport between two ferromagnetic nanostructures. This postdoctoral stay led to the publication of 3 papers.
In July 2014, I joined the ARAID Foundation as a full-time researcher to develop a project at the Institute of Nanoscience of Aragón (INA) based on the study of the electronic transport properties of new nanodevices based on bismuth and superconducting or ferromagnetic nanodeposits. From August 2015 to September 2017, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Advanced Microscopy Laboratory (LMA), working on Nanofabrication and Spintronics. I am the responsible of a new research line focused on the interplay between magnetic properties at high frequency, spintronic and thermoelectric transport in nanostructures. During these years, I published 10 papers, 1 review and 1 book chapter and gave 5 invited conferences.
In September 2017, I joined the Condensed Matter Physics Department of the University of Zaragoza as a PhD Assistant Professor, belonging to the School of Engineering and Architecture. Since September 2021, Dr. Sangiao continues in the Condensed Matter Physics Department of the University of Zaragoza as an Associate Professor, belonging to the School of Engineering and Architecture. In this period, I has published 16 papers and co-directed a doctoral thesis defended in July 2023.
Regarding technological development activities, in 2020 I presented together with four other colleagues, a know-how agreement whose title is Use of a thermoelectric plate for substrate cooling and subsequent ultra-rapid growth of layers and metallic contacts using a focused ion beam. In September 2023, we presented a patent with title is Electrical contact manufacturing system and associated manufacturing method and application number at the Spanish patent office ES1641.1882.
Regarding outreach activities I have published in the Points of Interest of the Spanish Physics magazine published by the RSEF, on the April-June 2021 issue, whose title is Electronic properties and antilocalization effect in thin films of the topological insulator Bi2Se3. Besides, I actively participate in scientific dissemination activities: Since 2008 in Introduction to Research Conferences, Open days, talks in education centres on the occasion of Womens Day in Science, etc. In addition, I am participating in a project of the FECYT (FCT-20-15786) called Journey to the centre of electron microscopy: Gymkhanas and Nanotechnological Escape Rooms".
