My scientific career started by studying a PhD in theoretical physics at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and Institut de Física d’Altes Energies (2018-2023), under the supervision of Dr. Rafel Escribano, on physics of fundamental interactions, focusing on low-energy hadronic physics. The main thread of my thesis, thus, revolved around the study of some rare hadronic η and η′ decay processes and their subsequent application as fine probes to stress test Standard Model (SM) predictions in search of new physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM), such as potential violations of SM symmetries or the existence of new hypothetical BSM particles.

From my doctoral thesis 5 research papers came out that have been published in high-impact journals. Indeed, the work has been particularly relevant and of timely interest, as many of the predictions and results are currently being (or will be) tested in present (and future) η/η′ factories. As an example, it is worth highlighting my analysis of the scalar and vector exchange contributions to the η→π0γγ, which is a process that is currently attracting a significant amount of attention due to, in particular, the conflicting measurements reported by different experimental collaborations.  My theoretical results, which were obtained using the linear sigma model and vector meson dominance theoretical frameworks, appear to decisively support the recent measurement by the KLOE-II Collaboration, in detriment of those reported by the A2 and Crystal Ball Collaborations. On the other hand, this particular process is regarded as the golden decay channel for the upcoming Jefferson Lab Eta Factory, which will measure this decay with unprecedented accuracy. The first measurements are expected to become available in 2025 and, currently, I am in touch with members of the experimental collaboration to help provide additional theoretical parameterisations. 

In addition to this, some of my theoretical predictions, such as those for the doubly radiative η′→ηγγ decay, and semileptonic η′→π0l+l− and η′→ηl+l− processes, are the first that have been published in the literature. In particular, the former decay was corroborated with the first measurement of its branching ratio by the BESIII Collaboration and the latter processes may serve as a guide for future experiments such as the Super Tau-Charm Factory Experiment. Furthermore, I am part of the international REDTOP Collaboration, which has proposed the construction of a super η/η′ factory which aims at exploring BSM physics and, in particular, the dark sector in the MeV-GeV energy regime. As a matter of fact, some theoretical predictions from my thesis, such as the assessment of the REDTOP sensitivity to CP violation signatures in η(′)→π0μ+μ− and η′→ημ+μ− decays, have been used to help redirect available resources to more promising avenues where potential new physics may be discovered, as well as provide more stringent bounds on parameter space in the search of hypothetical new force carriers, such as the leptophobic gauge B boson.

My track record includes 6 publications in high-impact journals, 6 conference proceedings, 1 white paper, 146 citations and h = 6 (based on InspireHEP). I have also participated in well-established international conferences with 4 contributed talks, where I presented some of my work, and 1 invited seminar. In addition to this, I have participated in 6 scientific research projects. Finally, I have worked as an instructor at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona from September 1st 2023 to August 31st 2024, the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia from February 19th 2024 to August 31st 2024, and at the Universidad Cardenal Herrera CEU since September 3rd 2024 to January 22nd 2025. I currently hold a position of Assistant Professor at the Universidad Cardenal Herrera CEU since January 23rd 2025.

To conclude, it may also be mentioned that over the last 20 years I contributed to the advancements in electric-powertrain technology within the automotive private sector. As particularly significant achievements, I should highlight my contribution to the design of the ISO26262 ASIL-D inverter for the all-electric torque-vectoring two-wheel drive Audi R8 E-tron, which set the record for the fastest production electric car at the Nürburgring circuit, as well as my involvement in the design of the first kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) raced by the Vodafone-McLaren-Mercedes Formula One team, which was widely regarded as the best KERS system in the F1 grid, and more recently the design of the inverter for the Red Bull RB17 hypercar. Along with it, my professional accomplishments include 3 Formula One world championships, 20 Formula One Grand-Prix victories, as well as 4 Formula E world championships and 16 Formula E Grand-Prix victories.
