About Me:
I am from Barcelona, and I have been living in London for 10 years. I have also lived in Bristol and Dublin. I enjoy cooking (it’s a bit like working in a lab) and trying new foods. I unwind watching football – Barça supporter, here! – doing Pilates and reading fiction.

My Work:
I am Postdoctoral researcher from the department of Bioengineering at Imperial College. My research is about understanding how the pressure that maintains the eye in healthy conditions works.
-
My Typical Day:
There is no typical day when you are a scientist! This is the fun of it. However, I usually arrive to work at 9:30 am and make my best to leave by 7 pm. 2 days a week I do Pilates at 8 am before going to work. When I am at work, I split my day between meetings, lab work and writing. I also try to have lunch with my colleagues to have a more entertaining break.
