I am Investigador Científico (permanent researcher) at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), and work at ICMAT (CSIC-UAM-UC3M-UCM), where I have served as Director since 2022.

I obtained a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Southampton in 2005, and subsequently held academic positions in the United Kingdom, France, Ireland, and the United States. After a Ramón y Cajal fellowship at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, I joined CSIC in 2020.

My research focuses on geometry, topology, and group theory; see the Mathematics page for more details. 

I currently hold institutional roles at both European and national levels, serving as Vice-Chair of the European Research Centres on Mathematics (ERCOM), as Vice-President of the SOMMa Alliance of Severo Ochoa and María de Maeztu Centres and Units of Excellence, and Institutional Representative at the EMS Council. 

I am deeply interested in scientific policy, particularly in strengthening research systems at the national and international levels and in promoting a more cohesive and inclusive scientific environment.
