Internships:
1/10/2020 — Today: Computational Astrophysics Research Group (CAST) of the University Observatory (USM) of the LMU Position: Intern doing a master thesis. Activities and responsibilities: Study of the dynamics and evolution of high redshift (z = 4) protoclusters with a set of cosmological zoom simulations called COMPASS. I do this using the DIANOGA set of 26 clusters of galaxies of final masses of 10^15 solar masses. I run the simulations at different resolutions and study some of their properties like star mass, star formation rate, number of substructures, density and temperature, and how the values of this magnitudes change when changing resolution. Doing this I aim to be able to compare the simulations with observations and consider which physical processes must have taken place in protoclusters so that we encounter the clusters of galaxies that we observe today. 15/04/2020 — 01/10/2020: Computational Astrophysics Research Group (CAST) of the University Observatory (USM) of the LMU Position: Summer Intern. Activities and responsibilities: Study of structure formation in galaxies at high redshift (z = 4) protoclusters using a smooth particle hydrodynamical code, OpenGadget3. The results were described and analyzed in a report. The project was marked with a 10 (in a scale o 0 to 10, where 0 is the lowest mark and 10 the highest). 01/02/2020 - 30/03/2020: Wavegarden Position: Computational Fluid Dynamics Researcher Activities and responsibilities: I worked in the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) team of Wavegarden doing simulations focused in the development of technologies of wave production for surfing. We used Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics codes, used usually in Astrophysics, but now applied for the modeling of the waves as well as CAD softwares for the modeling of the bathymetry of the wave-pool. 01/09/2018 – 11/07/2019: Nanoscience Cooperative Research Center CIC nanoGUNE Position: Inter working on the final degree thesis. Activities and responsibilities: Optimization of organic devices by the characterization of the energy barriers at the organic/metal interfaces using of a new spectroscopy method called "In Device Molecular Spectroscopy (i-MOS)". The fabrication of the devices called ‘Hot-Electron devices’ was done with ultra high vacuum technology and cleanroom conditions. A great part of the project consisted also on the optimization of the fabrication process. I measured the electric transport properties of the devices, characterized the energy barrier at the metal/organic interface and measured the first two molecular orbitals of the heterojunction. The research project report is available in English for anyone interested under the following link: https://addi.ehu.es/handle/10810/38533. 18/06/2018 – 17/08/2018: Nanoscience Cooperative Research Center CIC nanoGUNE (https://www.nanogune.eu) Position: Summer intern. Activities and responsibilities: Tuning the Fermi Level of graphene layers with organic polymers.This implied being part of a multicultural and multidisciplinar research group and the development of technical as well as analytical abilities such as: the preparation of dissolutions of organic conductive polymers and the deposition of these polymers in lithographed substrates. The characterization of the polymeric layers by microscopy of atomic forces and the measure of the electric transport of organic devices. Also it was necessary to collect data and interprete the results. Finally, I prepared a scientific report and presented the results in front of the community of the CIC NanoGUNE Cooperative Research Center.Other Outstanding Projects:
2018 - 2019: Study of sea movements that result in the appearance of waves adequate for surfing as well as the study of the hydrodynamics of surfboards. 2017 - 2018: Development of a program in the programming language Fortran 95 for solving numerically and representing the possible gravitational three body stable orbits.Other Knowledges
