Curriculum Vitae
Observing experienceI have experience with the usage of the following facilities: Radio, mm, sub-mm:
Optical:
ComputersI like Python and its main scientific packages (e.g., scipy, matplotlib, pyfits). For my thesis it was useful to create a Python-based pipeline (PyPEff) to reduce, in a semi-automated fashion, radiocontinuum data in full polarisation taken with the 100-m Effelsberg radio telescope. Some tools from the Virtual Observatory that I find very useful are Aladin, Topcat or SPLAT-VO. Databases are nowadays powerful tools in Science. I have experience in the creation, management and usage of relational databases with MySQL. Outreach activitiesSince 1995 I am proud member of the Agrupación Astronómica de Madrid (AAM). I will always be extremely grateful to people there because in my early years as a student I much developed my interest for astronomy. I could also learn to build a decent 20-cm dobsonian telescope. I have some experience helping in guided tours through professional observatories and also amateur observing sessions. It was a pleasure to chat with Manuel Seara (conductor of the weekly radio programme "A hombros de Gigantes") about life at APEX and the Atacama desert. You might want to listen the interview through the podcast of RTVE here (Spanish) Maybe you want to have a look at the astronomy-related blog
denebola.org in which I am co-writer
(Spanish). I also participate regularly in the blog of the magazine for Physics' students
Revista I participated in the 3rd Edition of the "Teresa Pinillos" scientific essays contest. My essay was selected for publication in the book "Un breve viaje por la ciencia". You can get the pdf from here. (Spanish) |
