Summary
I graduated from the Degree in Mathematics of the Complutense University of Madrid in 2019, on Pure and Applied Mathematics, and completed the Master in Advanced Mathematics and Mathematical Engineering (MAMME) in the Polytechnic University of Catalonia in 2020.
I obtained my Ph.D. on Mathematical Engineering, Statistics and Operations Research (IMEIO Ph.D. program) on July 4th, 2025, entitled «Mathematics and infectious diseases: Analysis and application of compartmental models«. I was supported by an FPU predoctoral grant at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Mathematical Analysis (UCM), supervised by Professor Ángel M. Ramos (UCM), Professor Benjamin Ivorra (UCM) and Senior Researcher Alain Rapaport (INRAE Occitanie-Montpellier), in the framework of the MOMAT Research Group. I am also a member of the Interdisciplinary Mathematics Institute (IMI).
Since July 7th, 2025, I am a Junior Research Fellow at the Bolyai Institute, University of Szeged (Szeged, Hungary) under the supervision of Professor Gergely Röst (SZTE) and Professor Stanca M. Ciupe (Virginia Tech). This contract is supported by the National Laboratory for Health Security (Hungary).

Research
My research is mainly focused on the study and application of compartmental models based on ODEs to model the evolution of human infectious diseases. In particular, I have worked on models for the COVID-19 pandemic, with application to Italy, and for dengue fever. I am nowadays working on a within-host perspective, in particular, on studying the effect of antiviral treatments against SARS-CoV-2.
I also work on inverse problems, in particular, the study of observability and identifiability properties of dynamical systems, with a special focus on epidemiological models and general nonlinear systems.
