Academic background<\/b><\/h5>\n

I\u2019ve always been curious about almost every technical and scientific field, so my father suggested I study industrial engineering since it would give me access to any specialization I might choose later. I studied Industrial Technologies Engineering at the University of M\u00e1laga (UMA), where I initially thought I would end up focusing on robotics or automation, but reality turned out quite differently.<\/span><\/p>\n

The experience I had, along with the support of two key professors, Juan Mu\u00f1oz from Power Plants and Ignacio Loscertales from Fluid Mechanics, confirmed that what I truly enjoyed was thermal engineering and, above all, energy. After a year of Erasmus at the Wroc\u0142aw University of Science and Technology in Poland, I graduated with the best academic record in my cohort and went on to pursue the qualifying Master\u2019s in Industrial Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM), where I continued specializing in this field.<\/span><\/p>\n

During this period, I completed a one-year internship at CERN and also took part in an exchange program at the French National Institute for Nuclear Science and Technology (INSTN) in Cadarache, where I completed coursework equivalent to a Master\u2019s in Nuclear Engineering. This is where I fully stepped into this fascinating field. Eventually, I also completed a Master\u2019s in Astrophysics and Cosmology, finally satisfying a long-standing curiosity of mine, and I genuinely enjoyed every moment of it.<\/span><\/p>\n

What I enjoy most is studying, and I have always felt that the development and use of nuclear fission, and of course fusion as well, which represents a field where I can continue learning and researching indefinitely, satisfying that curiosity. This is, of course, not exclusive to this discipline, but I have always felt that nuclear energy is the one with the potential to take human civilization to the next level, and I wanted to be part of it in whatever way I could contribute (as long as I am allowed to).<\/span><\/p>\n
