I graduated in chemistry at the University of Sevilla and completed my PhD in physics and electrical engineering at the University of Northumbria at Newcastle as part of a Marie Curie Fellowship. During my PhD, I had research stays at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) and at EMPA in the Laboratory for Thin Films and Photovoltaics, where I developed earth-abundant semiconductors for photovoltaics. After a postdoc period at the HZB, where I developed advanced optoelectronic characterization methods and novel earth-abundant materials, I started working at the Humboldt University of Berlin to help make materials data FAIR. My research interests concentrate on novel compound semiconductors and high-throughput methods for energy materials, with a focus on efficient data management activities. Currently, I am the domain expert in the field of optoelectronic materials in the NFDI consortium FAIRmat. Along with the FAIRmat team, I am working on developing NOMAD as a FAIR data management platform for experimental materials science.
