I was born and raised in Catalonia. In 2020 I finished my BSc in Theoretical Physics at the University of Barcelona, with Black Holes in Higher Dimensions as my final thesis, directed by Roberto Emparan. I relocated to study my MSc in Physics at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where I researched "The surviving remnants of red giants after a partial tidal disruption event" with Tsvi Piran as my advisor.
The topics I find most exciting are General Relativity and Quantum Field Theory and I’m interested in pursuing an academic career in High Energy Physics, in particular String Theory and other quantum gravity theories. Check my CV.
However, my passion and curiosity goes well beyond physics. I am currently taking some courses in philosophy at the Open University of Catalonia.

Interests
Languages
I'm a polyglot and a language enthusiast. I could spend hours and hours talking about the relationship between language and culture, the way languages shape our brain, methods for learning… My native tongues are Catalan and Spanish, I'm also fluent in English, Hebrew and Italian, and I can defend myself in Japanese and German.
Music
I've been playing the piano for as long as I can remember. It's one of my favorite ways of unwinding and expressing my feelings. I once recorded myself playing Chopin. I also like dancing, I am learning popping and dancehall.
Books
I'm a true bookworm and book hoarder. Check out my Goodreads or this small list of my Favorite booksFavorite books
The Name of the Wind - Patrick Rothfuss
The Dispossessed - Ursula K. LeGuin
One Hundred Years of Solitude - Gabriel García Márquez
I, Claudius - Robert Graves
Educated - Tara Westover
.... I am also a writer, but that's still a work in progress.
Handcrafting and drawing
I enjoy crocheting, knitting, pottery, bullet journaling, and all sorts of creative stuff. I like to draw realistic portraits with pencil, and I sometimes experiment with watercolor and digital painting.
Yoga and Meditation
I practice Ashtanga Yoga since 2021, though I'm still learning how to be consistent and I am only halfway through the primary series. I also practice meditation, not regularly. I completed two Vipassana 10-day courses.
Activism
I care about my impact on the planet, the animals and the people that surround me, so I try to be mindful about my choices. I am vegan, feminist and I advocate for intersectionality.
