PhD in Applied Physics & Optics

News


Ten years ago, I began an academic journey as a predoctoral student, eventually becoming a postdoctoral researcher. I am proud to share some of my most notable achievements.
My first article titled "Invisibility Assessment: A Visual Perception Approach" was published in the special feature "Virtual Journal for Biomedical Optics (VJBO)” of OPTICA (formerly OSA).
I was awarded a 3-year predoctoral contract to develop novel imaging techniques through scattering media using a single-pixel camera in the GROC group at Universitat Jaume I, Castellón de la Plana, Spain.
CONACYT
In November 2015, CONACYT (Mexican National Research Council) published an article about my academic journey.
In 2017, I had the opportunity to present my research work at the European Conference on Biomedical Optics (ECBO) in Munich, Germany. It was my first time presenting at an international congress.
I attended the SPIE Photonics West 2018 in San Francisco, California earlier this year. While the Congress was impressive, what truly stood out to me was the experience of walking on the Golden Gate Bridge.

The article titled “Signal-to-noise ratio of single-pixel cameras based on photodiodes” was published in the special issue of "Imaging and Applied Optics 2018” of OPTICA (formerly OSA).
I travelled to Strasbourg, France, in 2018 to attend the SPIE Photonics Europe Congress with my advisor Prof. Enrique Tajahuerce. Upon our arrival in the city, my advisor took this photo.
I was awarded the Best Student Paper Award at SPIE Photonics Europe 2018 in Strasbourg, France.
In July 2019, I achieved a major milestone in my life by receiving my PhD degree. This was a moment of great joy and gratitude, and I owe a debt of thanks to my colleagues in the GROC group who provided unwavering support throughout the process.
My PhD thesis was awarded the maximum score (Sobresaliente Cum Laude) given by the Doctoral School of the Universitat Jaume I, Castellón de la Plana, Spain.
I started working as a Postdoctoral Researcher Fellow at the University of Exeter, UK in October 2019. However, I took this photo in April when I attended the “Light in Complex Materials” meeting.
As a researcher, one of the activities I enjoy is outreach. For this reason, I would have liked to participate in Soapbox Science 2020 in Exeter. Unfortunately, this event was cancelled due to the lockdown.
1st anniversary at the University of Exeter. My supervisor Prof. Jacopo Bertolotti reply to my tweet with very sweet and warm words.
After a long silence due to the lockdown, I resumed my activities by participating in the "Pint of Science" online event in May 2021. My talk was titled “Turn your smartphone into a Microscope”.
Our article titled "Tracking moving objects through scattering media via speckle correlations" was published in Nature Communications in October 2022.
My cycle at the University of Exeter ended in September 2022.
Starting the year 2023 in my new position as a Research Fellow in Optical/Photonic Instrument Design at Queen's University Belfast, Northern Ireland.
I attended the International Thematic School "Waves in Complex Media from Theory to Practice" organized by the Société Française d'Optique, which was held in Les Houches, France in September 2023.
I received the Leibniz-IPHT Travel Award, which funded my participation in the esteemed “Women in Photonics 2023" workshop in Jena, Germany.
A summary of my research article “Tracking moving objects through scattering media via speckle correlations” was selected to be published in “Optics in 2023” via Optics & Photonics News (OPN) Magazine of Optica (formerly OSA).
My artwork was selected as a top cover candidate for the special issue "Optics in 2023" of Optica (formerly OSA).
I joined the STEM Ambassador program to promote STEM education in Northern Ireland, UK.
