Short vita and research interests:
Born in Madrid, in 1969.
Graduated in Physics (BSc/MSc) from the "Universidad Complutense de
Madrid (UCM)" in the field of Theoretical Physics in 1996.
PhD. in Aerosol Physics from "Universidad Nacional de Educacion a Distancia, UNED" in June 2004 with the
Dissertation: "Transport phenomena and particle accumulation in gases. Evaluation of
the influence of radiative fields and others", under the
advice of Prof. Castillo and Prof. Garcia-Ybarra. I am grateful my
work in collaboration with them continues.
Nowadays I am inmersed in promoting the internationalization of my activities. I keep working in Aerosol Dynamics field,
with recent results on photophoresis and thermophoresis of porous particles, and some work in progress, as the characterization
of particle deposits with electrospraying.
I am the Physics Erasmus Coordinator in UNED since 2006. My main task is to design an effective mobility programme
in our university of learning distance, taking into account the specific role of the UNED Network of Partened Centres through all Spain.
My compromise is to publicize an initial proposal of Eramus mobility no more late than Winter 2007, with an especific part dedicated to doctorate student exchange in Aerosol Physics.
Moreover, in view of the near launching of the Master in Medical Physics in UNED (academic year 2008/09), part of my administrative work
consists in the establishing of permanent contacts with research groups in the area of Biomedical Engineering-Medical Physics, through student exchange programmes
or the making of international seminars and courses. My main interest in this field concerns the physical and mathematical modelling
in digital imaging analysis, especially in medical imaging. We are currently developing some improvements in optical flow techniques
to caracterize the induced thermally capillarity flow in a bounded heated fluid, in connection to the our research in combustion of liquid fuels.
My main research activity is in the field of aerosol physics
Transport properties of particles and vapours in
gas streams.
Thermophoresis and Photophoresis of particle aggregates, porous particles,..
Nucleation, condensation and deposition processes
Surface growth by Electrospraying process
Population dynamics
Aggregation of fractal-like
aggregates. Coagulation induced by external fields
and in the field of digital imaging (in medical physics)
Physical modelling of corporal fluids and tissues
Mathematical modelling: optical flow techniques, deformation models, snakes, levelsets
