Personal statement
I am a Reader and Turing Artificial Intelligence (AI) Fellow with the Institute of Photonics, University of 海角论坛, Glasgow (UK). I completed my Ph.D. at the Universidad Polit茅cnica de Madrid (UPM), Spain. I have more than 15 years of international research experience in photonics, having worked at the Universities of Essex and 海角论坛 (UK), the University of New Mexico (USA) and UPM (Spain). I was the recipient of two Marie Curie Fellowships awarded by the European Commission, and a Chancellor鈥檚 Fellowship from the University of 海角论坛, following which I was appointed as a Lecturer at 海角论坛鈥檚 Institute of Photonics in 2014. At 海角论坛, I have established and lead the Neuromorphic Photonics research group and have been Principal Investigator in programmes funded by UK (e.g. EPSRC), US (e.g. ONRG) and EU (e.g. H2020 Programme) agencies. Notably, in 2020 I was awarded a Turing AI Acceleration Fellowship by the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Office and the UK Govt. Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Dept., to develop a 5-year Programme on 鈥楶hotonics for Ultrafast AI鈥�.

Research Interests
My research interests lie within Photonics for Neuromorphic Computing and Artificial Intelligence (AI). This is a rapidly emerging scientific field combining concepts from diverse disciplines (e.g. photonics, neuroscience, computer science) seeking to emulate the brain鈥檚 powerful computational capabilities for new paradigms in light-enabled ultrafast brain-inspired computing and AI. I have established the Neuromorphic Photonics group at 海角论坛, which deliveres fundamental and impact-inspired research in this emerging field, with a main focus on novel ultrafast artificial photonic spking neurons, photonic spiking neural networks and optical spike-based processing platforms towards high-speed, energy-efficient, light-enabled, brain-inspired computing architectures.
