    Before joining LOGOS, I obtained a "Grado" in Philosophy at Universidad de Sevilla (2015) and a MA in Cognitive Science and Language (CCiL) at Universitat de Barcelona (2016). Finally, I joined LOGOS (Fall 2016) and now I am currently working on my PhD thesis "Conceptual Foundations of Landauer's Principle and the Physics of Information" under the supervision of Carl Hoefer, which is funded by a four-year FPU grant (Spanish Ministry of Education). I am also a Student Member of BIAP (Barcelona Institute of Analytic Philosophy)

    Currently, my main area of philosophical interest lies in the field so-called 'Physics of Information', both in its conceptual foundations (which includes its ontic and epistemic implications) and in its historical roots. On the other hand, I also work on an informational naturalization of mathematica representations in physics from an inferential framework.
