After obtaining a BSc in Chemistry from the University of Jaén (2002), I earned a Masters Degree in Heterogeneous Catalysis from the University of Córdoba (2004).
During my Masters Degree, I spent some months at the Royal Institution in London, where I learnt about various molecular simulations techniques. I then moved to Cambridge where I gained a PhD in Physical Chemistry (2008) under the supervision of Dr Graeme Day and Prof. Bill Jones. Following my PhD, I worked as a researcher in several pharmaceutical companies (Pfizer and Roche), the University of Amsterdam and the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre.
Since 2016, I am a Lecturer at the School of Chemical Engineering and Analytical Sciences, the University of Manchester.
I am part of a larger group called "Crystal Chemistry and Particle Process Engineering" (CCAPPE).
In our group, we study various aspects of crystal chemistry from nucleation to the design of processess for the production of large quantity of crystals. My expertise lies in the understanding of how molecules make crystals, the phenomenon of polymorphism and solvate formation, cocrystallisation and the understanding of nucleation and crystal growth at the molecular level. We use a great variety of experimental as well as computational techniques in order to understand the various processess involved in crystallisation.
