Currently, I am a staff researcher at the
Astrobiology Center in Madrid (CAB/CSIC-INTA),
affiliated to the Instituto
Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial (INTA)
and the Centro
Superior de Investigaciones científicas
(CSIC).
I also have a university professor position
at the
Astrophysics Department, Universidad Complutense de
Madrid (UCM) (currently on leave).
From 2007 to 2011, I was a
Ramón y Cajal Associate Professor
(position founded after the Nobel Prize
Winner), also at the Astrophysics
Department,
UCM. Previously, I was a postdoc at the UCM within ASTRID, a project
supported by the Comunidad
Autónoma de Madrid.
From 2003 to 2006, I was a postdoc at Steward
Observatory, University of
Arizona. I am a member of the Spitzer/MIPS
Instrument Team.

My research is focused on the study of the star formation in
galaxies. There are two main aspects in this study:
1)
analize extended nearby galaxies with resolved
star-forming complexes to understand what triggers star
formation in individual galaxies (see, e.g.,
Pérez-González et
al. 2003 or
Pérez-González et
al. 2006);
2) characterize the population of
star-forming galaxies at intermediate and high redshift
to understand how galaxies formed and evolved from the
beginning of the Universe (e.g.,
Pérez-González et
al. 2005). These galaxies are detected with different
techniques. I am especially interested in galaxies detected
through their Hα emission or their dust emission in
the infrared (IR).
