BIO
I am a post-doctoral researcher in the Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (FTS) laboratory, part of the Space and Atmospheric Physics group. I hold a PhD in Plasma Spectroscopy from the University of Valladolid (Spain), where I measured Transition Probabilities and Stark parameters of singly and doubly-ionized noble gases (Ar, Kr, Xe). My research focuses on the measurement of highly accurate transition probabilities, wavelengths and energy levels for elements of Astrophysical interest using Fourier Transform Spectroscopy.
