2009 - 2013
PhD in Earth Sciences (Geophysics)
Universitat de Barcelona
Grade: Pass with Cum Laude.
Title: Innovation of the Magnetotelluric method and its application to the characterization of the Pyrenean lithosphere. Supervisor: Dr. Juanjo Ledo
2008 - 2009
MSc in Geophysics
Universitat de Barcelona
Grade: 90% (Distinction)
During the MSc I developed and applied my skills on the study of the Earth's subsurface gaining expertise in data analysis, processing, modeling, Inversion, and Interpretation of geophysical results working with seismic, gravity, magnetic, electric and electromagnetic data.
2002 - 2008
BSc in Physics
Universitat de Barcelona
Grade: 75%
The main fields of my Physics degree were: Electronics, Quantum physics, Solid state physics, Nuclear and particle physics, Wave mechanics, Mathematical numerical methods, Optics and electromagnetism, and Thermodynamics and statistical physics. I also undertook optional modules in applied physics in geophysics, astronomy, and medical physics.
