Studied Nanoscience and Nanotechnology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona and completed his final year overseas in Theoretical Physics at Trinity College Dublin (2018-2023). Before finishing his bachelor&#8217;s, he carried out two years of research. In 2020, he joined ICFO as a Research Assistant, working towards the realization of a mechanical quantum bit through a carbon nanotube-based device. In 2021, he worked on his thesis in the Magnetism and Spin Electronics Group at CRANN, Trinity College. There, he focused on achieving all-electrical pico-second switching of ferrimagnets with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. Afterward, he returned to Barcelona and joined the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2). Additionally, since 2017, he has been teaching science subjects to high school students. He is also a member of the global top-talent network Nova and has received other prestigious scholarships, such as the IRC, which he declined in order to fully delve into the captivating realm of AI for heterogeneous electrocatalysis though this MSCA PhD.<\/span><\/div><div role=\"presentation\"
