I have a PhD in theoretical chemistry (UAB, 2003) and a Master's in science communication (UPF, 2002). I also trained in science teaching at the UAB and I am a member of the LIEC-UAB group (Language and Science Teaching). I have been the research technician and impact officer at the iHC since December 2025.
Before joining the iHC, I worked for twenty years at the magazine Investigación y Ciencia (Spanish edition of Scientific American), first as an editor and then as the editor in chief. I have also worked at the Center for Contemporary Culture of Barcelona (CCCB) on various scientific culture projects and in collaboration with research centers such as ALBA, IBEC, IFAE and ICFO.
At the IHC I provide support in various research management tasks, the coordination and dissemination of activities, the website and promoting open and impact-oriented research.
