Bio

He received his Bachelor’s degree in Telecommunications Engineering in 2015 from the University of Vigo. In 2016 he obtained a Master’s degree in Laser and Photonic Technologies by the universities of Vigo, A Coruña and Santiago de Compostela, while at the same time he was working on different projects related to quantum optics. At the end of that year, he got a FPU contract from the Spanish Ministry of Education to work on his doctoral thesis about the security and performance in different types of quantum key distribution systems, which he defended in 2021. He is currently working as a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Signal Theory and Communications of the University of Vigo. His research interests include quantum information, quantum communications, and quantum cryptography.
