About me
I am Ikerbasque Research Fellow and Visiting Professor at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) in Spain. My main research interests are focused on the science and applications of intense light-matter interaction in confined geometries, in particular in micro- and nano-structured optical fibres.
Outside the scientific world, I am a passionate traveler, musician, sportsman and reader. Partner of a wonderful person and proud father of a wonderful little girl.

Recent Posts
Research Projects
Exotic Light Sources
We work on the conception, design and development of novel fibre-based laser sources operating in spectral domains such as the ultraviolet or the mid-infrared, traditionally inaccessible in standard fibre optics
Multimode nonlinear & quantum optics
The inherent multimode nature of anti-resonant hollow-core fibres opens new routes to efficient frequency conversion and spatial structuring of the outcoupled radiation, even in the single-photon limit
Smart photonics
Modern machine learning approaches such as deep learning using artificial neural networks enable the optimization of nonlinear optical processes and allow for the discovery of nonintuitive photonic designs with unique optical properties
