Short CV

I did my Bachelor’s and Master’s in Physics at the Autonomus University of Barcelona (2005). I also obtained a Master’s degree in Theoretical Physics at the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris (2005) and a PhD in Physics at the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics and Statistical Models (University of Paris Sud) (2008). After a short postdoctoral stay at the Theoretical Quantum Optics Group (Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of Hannover), I moved to the Groningen Bioinformatics Centre where I transitioned into the field of quantitative biology, being involved in some of the first large scale population epigenetic studies in model organisms.

Since 2013 I am a Rosalind Franklin Fellow at the Department of the Biology of Ageing (European Research Institute for the Biology of Ageing – ERIBA, University of Groningen and University Medical Centre Groningen), and since 2016 I am also a Helmholtz Young Investigator's Group Leader at the Institute of Computational Biology (Helmholtz Zentrum München).
