I am a professor in the Department of Applied Physics at Universitat de Barcelona, and member of the Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology of the same university (IN2UB).

My research focuses on novel optical methods for three-dimensional (3D) light engineering, with applications in materials science, sensing, and biology. Key examples of my work in this area include:
- The development of laser catapulting for additive micro-optics manufacturing capable of the on-demand, targetted, and high-throughput fabrication of micro-lens arrays.
- The design of acousto-optofluidic systems for focusing and shaping the light at sub-microsecond time scales, enabling the on-the-fly control of light for large-area additive as well as subtractive processing.
- The implementation of fast inertia-free optical microscopes that lack any mechanical moving parts. They provide an unprecedented volumetric imaging speed, thus allowing us to characterize the dynamics of fast processes such as molecular diffusion and neuronal signaling.

I am the recipient of a PRISM award (with TAG Optics, during my time as a postdoc at Princeton University), an ERC Consolidator grant, and an ICREA Academia award.
