I obtained my degree in Industrial Engineering from the Universitat Politècnica de València in 2004. Driven by a growing interest in fundamental science, I subsequently pursued advanced studies in physics. I earned an MSc in High Energy Physics, Astrophysics, and Cosmology from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) in 2018, followed by a PhD in Theoretical Physics from UAB in 2023, awarded with highest honours. As part of my academic duties at Universidad Cardenal Herrera CEU, I deliver core physics modules to undergraduate students. My research interest focuses on the phenomenology of low-energy quantum chromodynamics, particularly on topics such as eta and eta' physics, effective field theories—including chiral perturbation theory with its extensions and the Standard Model Effective Field Theory—and their application to the search for light dark-sector particles and other potential signatures of new physics beyond the Standard Model in hadronic processes. I am also an active member of the REDTOP Collaboration. In parallel, I maintain a strong interest in foundational aspects of quantum mechanics. Alongside my academic work, I have over two decades of experience in the design and development of electric propulsion systems for Formula One and the automotive industry. Notable achievements include the electronic design of the first KERS used by the Vodafone-McLaren-Mercedes F1 team—widely regarded as the best-performing system on the grid at the time—the electronic design of the ISO26262 ASIL-D–compliant inverter for the Audi R8 e-tron, which set a Nürburgring record for production electric vehicles, and, more recently, the electronic design of the inverter for the Red Bull RB17 hypercar. I have contributed to three Formula One World Championships, twenty Formula One Grand Prix wins, four Formula E World Championships, and sixteen Formula E Grand Prix victories.
