My research revolves around the chemical (and physical) processes occurring in the interstellar medium (and in particular in star-forming regions), and their connection to the origin of life in the universe.

I carried out my PhD thesis at the Centro de Astrobiología (CAB, CSIC-INTA, 2012-2017). The thesis was entitled The matter cycle in the interstellar medium: energetic processing of dust and ice, and was funded by the FPI-MICINN sub-programme of the Spanish Ministry of Economy (Ref: BES-2012-056303). I then continued my career at the Center for Astrophysics (CfA, Harvard & Smithsonian, 2017-2022), first as a postdoctoral researcher and then as a research associate. During this period I focused my studies on the formation and evolution of complex organic molecules during the star formation process.

I am currently developing my research as a FCI PhD contract holder at the Centro de Astrobiología (CSIC-INTA, 2023-), thanks to the funding obtained from the LaCaixa Foundation to carry out the SAPPHIRE project (Ref: LCF/BQ/PI22/11910030). As principal investigator of this project, I performed laboratory experiments with interstellar ices analogues, which I complement with the analysis of observations of star-forming regions, to expand our knowledge of the chemistry of sulphur and phosphorus in the interstellar medium.
