Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemistry, Physical Chemistry area, of the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB) since 2025.

PhD in Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling by the UIB since 2021.

My doctoral thesis, carried out in the Molecular Reactivity and Drug Design group at the UIB, focused on the computational modelling of the effects of glycation and metal complexation on the structure and dynamics of α-synuclein, a protein asociated to Parkinson's disease. During this time, I familiarized myself with methods such as the application of Density Functional Theory (DFT) to the calculation of protein-metal complex stabilities and of coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations to the conformational exploration of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs).

After finishing my PhD in 2021, I started a postdoctoral stay at Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC), where I continued applying molecular dynamics simulations, this time to the study of neural ion channels' folding. Besides, I gained some experience in the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) methods to biological problems. Specifically, I took part in the development of a tool to predict the pathogenicity of mutations in ion channels associated to certain kinds of hereditary epilepsy.

In 2025, I returned to the group where I developed my doctoral thesis at the UIB, currently known as INNoVAM (Interdisciplinary Group on Neurodegenerative, Vascular and Metabolic Diseases). Here, I intend to widen the group skills by applying my acquired knowledge on AI and ML to the study of the relation between diabetes and neurodegeneration.
