I am a post-doctoral researcher at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. I am also a guest scientist at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research.
Research interests
My research is focused on modeling the continental ice sheets and their interactions with the climate and ocean. For an example of some of my work, here is a recent animation showing a simulation of Greenland melting under 6 K of warming.
