ICREA Research Professor at IFAE (Institut de Física d'Altes Energies). Experimental Sciences & Mathematics

Born in Madrid, 1971, he studied Theoretical Physics at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM). He spent many years in the DESY Laboratory in Hamburg (Germany) studying deeply inelastic electron-proton scattering processes in the ZEUS experiment at the HERA Collider, where he obtained his PhD and then worked as DESY research associate. In 2001, he changed continent to work in Fermilab (near Chicago, USA) as FNAL researcher. Since then he participates in the CDF experiment at the Tevatron where proton-antiproton collisions are studied, with special interest on the searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model. In 2007 he moved to Europe and started working also in the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN (Switzerland) that initiated operations in 2009. Now he is acting as the project leader of the IFAE-Barcelona group in both CDF and ATLAS experiments.

Research Interests

I have focused on QCD jet studies and the search for new physics beyond the Standard Model (Higgs boson, supersymmetry, extra-dimensions, etc..) at particle physics collider experiments. This translates into hundreds of publications, tens of conference talks, and seven PhD thesis that I supervised. I participate in two projects at the Tevatron and the LHC.
The Tevatron at Fermilab near Chicago is the most energetic proton-antiproton collider operational in the world, with a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. Since 2004, I supervise a group of scientists from IFAE-Barcelona that analyzes the data from the CDF experiment.
The Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva constitutes the most powerful collider in the world. It produces proton-proton collisions at 7 TeV and started operations in 2009, with the promise to open a new era in particle physics. Since 2009, I lead a group of almost 30 scientists from IFAE-Barcelona that analyzes the data from the ATLAS experiment.
