Zaragoza, Aragon, Spain
Professional with 10+ years of experience in scientific environments, combining project management, data analysis and technical communication. My career in particle physics has provided me with a strong analytical background and experience in complex, multidisciplinary and international projects. Over time, my role has evolved towards coordination and management, involving planning, execution and follow-up of projects, as well as team coordination. I have extensive experience in: • evaluation and critical review of scientific and technical documentation • data analysis and interpretation • preparation of reports and structured communication of complex results • coordination of teams and activities under tight deadlines Alongside my research work, I have been actively involved in scientific communication and outreach, including: • organization of conferences, workshops and scientific schools • participation in outreach events and public engagement activities • delivery of talks in secondary schools to promote scientific vocations I am particularly interested in roles related to evaluation, quality processes, scientific communication and project coordination within academic and public sector environments.
