About me

Currently, I am an Assistant Professor in Philosophy at the Erasmus University of Rotterdam.

I graduated in summer 2021 at the Department of Philosophy and the interdisciplinary Doctoral Program in Climate Change at the University of Graz (Austria). In Graz, a learnt a great deal about interdisciplinary research, which has shaped my work ever since.

After my PhD, I worked at PhilETAS (Philosophy of Engineering, Technology and Science), a research group based at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT); and at the UniFr_ESH Institute in Switzerland as a postdoc researcher. I have also held teaching, research and visiting positions at the University of Valencia (Spain), Keele University (UK) and the University of Washington (US). I am also a La Caixa Fellow!

On a more personal level:

I was born and raised in Madrid in 1990, in the popular working-class neighbourhood of Vallecas (or Vallekas, as we the locals write it). For those that do not know it, Vallekas has a strong identity as a symbol of resistance against oppresion towards the working class and against Franco’s right-wing dictatorship in Spain.

My academic education in English did not start until my mid 20s. The experience of having a working-class background and being a woman has shaped my strong commitment against discrimination in philosophy, academia and beyond. I believe that, whereas the academic world has become a bit more sensitive towards gender discrimination, there’s still so much to do about classism.

Nowadays, I enjoy climbing, hiking or biking outdoors; or lifting weights and playing board games indoors. I also like getting weird haircuts!

I speak Spanish (native), English (profiency level), German (advanced level) and ‘una mica’ of Catalan. Currently, I am also learning Dutch!
