PhD at UAM, Madrid, Spain in 2005. From 2008 to 2012, visiting researcher as postdoc at University of Padova with Dr. Carlo Umiltá studying attentional processes in TBI patients; and at MIT with Dr. Molly Potter understanding attention in RSVP tasks. During those years, I also had my three children, two boys and a girl with 12, 10 and 7 years old, nowadays. I received two Fulbright Fellows, first as postdoc in 2015, and second as Senior researcher in 2018 at the BWH-Harvard Medical with Dr. Jeremy Wolfe working in visual search with young adults and children. I got a Global MSCA fellowship at Cambridge University in 2018 to continue with children’s studies in foraging tasks at Harvard jointly with Cambridge until the summer of 2020. I’m now ending the MSCA at the UCM Neuroscience lab with Dr. Fernando Maestú studying neural basis of foraging in children using MEG techniques.
