PhD in Computer Engineering · Adjunct Lecturer · IT Systems Administrator · QKD Researcher

I am a computer engineer and researcher based in Valladolid, Spain. I hold a PhD in Computer Engineering from the University of Salamanca (2026), awarded Sobresaliente cum laude.

I work at the Universidad de Valladolid (UVa) as an adjunct lecturer in the Department of Computer Science (Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence area) and as an IT systems professional in its Information and Communication Technologies Service (STIC).

Research

My doctoral thesis, Generación y validación de redes QKD a gran escala bajo restricciones físicas y tecnológicas (Generation and Validation of Large-Scale QKD Networks under Physical and Technological Constraints), investigates geographically realistic Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) infrastructures, network design, structural validation, resilience, and technological constraints.

My wider interests include complex networks and graph theory, quantum-secure communications, cybersecurity, scientific computing, and Linux/IT infrastructure.
