Dedicated to advancing space operations through education, innovation, and applied research.
I integrate astronautics, astrodynamics, and bioastronautics to bridge theory with hands-on space operations. My teaching emphasizes simulation, payload design, and real-world mission training using MATLAB, Excel, and immersive VR systems. My research spans microgravity payloads, RPO, AI-enabled autonomy, and astronaut performance aboard suborbital, ISS, and analog platforms.
I was born and raised in Alicante, Spain, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. After earning my degree in Physics at the University of Valencia, I embarked on a life-changing exchange at the University of Texas at Austin, where I first experienced the U.S. academic culture. Inspired to continue my studies, I completed my M.S. in Physics at the University of Oklahoma, specializing in astrophysics under Dr. Edward Baron.
My career was shaped by Dr. Dan Tuckness, who inspired my passion for astrodynamics, leading me to pursue an M.S. and Ph.D. in Astronautical Engineering at the University of Southern California. There, I worked alongside JPL scientists Dr. Gerald Hintz, Dr. Martin W. Lo, and Sir James K. Miller, who provided invaluable mentorship in trajectory design and mission navigation for deep-space missions.
Today, I am proud to dedicate my career to educating and inspiring students to explore new frontiers in spacecraft systems, mission analysis, and space operations—merging rigorous research with creative, hands-on learning.
