I am a complexity researcher with a background in Physics. I earned my Physics BSc (Licenciatura de Física) at the Universidad de Zaragoza, Spain. During my studies, I loved exploring General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics (who doesn't?), but by the end of the degree, I was fortunate enough to be introduced to fields beyond conventional physics, such as physics applied to society, the economy, biology, and similar areas. Consequently, I decided to specialize in these fields with the hope of pursuing a PhD in complex systems. Although I did not achieve this last goal, I did earn a master's degree in the Physics of Complex Systems from UNED (Universidad Española de Educación a Distancia).
Years later, after some wandering, earning another MSc to become a high school teacher, and completing a two-year training internship at AEMET (Spanish Meteorological Agency), I finally secured a pre-doctoral position back at home, at Zaragoza's BIFI (Institute of Biophysics and Complex Systems). I earned my PhD in March 2024, specializing in computational epidemics.
My PhD research focused on epidemic spreading modeling through the application of concepts and tools from complex systems theory (complex networks, nonlinear dynamics, ABMs, etc.). I am dedicated to studying both the theoretical and application sides of the phenomena.
In addition, I have a strong interest in examining economic phenomena from the perspectives of complexity economics and biophysical economics. Overall, I enjoy learning about complex phenomena related to human societies and sustainability issues.
