Profile
I am a PhD researcher at the University of Vigo and the Vigo Quantum Communication Center, working within the Marie Curie Doctoral Network Quantum-Safe Internet. My research focuses on the implementation security of quantum key distribution, with particular attention to imperfect devices, prepare-and-measure and twin-field protocols, and the connection between theoretical security analysis and experimentally relevant solutions.
About
I have a strong background in mathematics and physics, built through advanced training in statistics, quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, and quantum technologies. Over the course of my doctoral work, I have developed security analyses aimed at improving the robustness and practical relevance of QKD systems. My work combines quantum theory, statistical modelling, and experimental characterisation to support secure and efficient quantum communication technologies.
Alongside research, I have developed complementary skills in scientific communication, project management, entrepreneurship, and international collaboration. I am also committed to science outreach through educational activities, popular science writing, and online content aimed at making quantum technologies more accessible.
