About me

Short Bio

I was born in Tetouan, a northern Mediterranean city in Morocco 🪬 . When I was 3 years old, I moved to Tarragona 🏖️, another northern Mediterranean city in Spain, where I lived until it was time to start university.

I pursued a double bachelor’s degree in Physics and Mathematics at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), focusing on Theoretical Physics (though I will always cherish my mathematician side 🤓).

Afterwards, I decided to pursue a master’s degree, which led me to Munich, where I studied Quantum Science and Technology at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU). In my final year, I completed my Master’s Thesis at BMW Group, contributing to the expansion of a benchmarking quantum framework for quantum machine learning and conducting related studies.

In March 2024, I took a “quantum jump” to Singapore 🇸🇬 , where I worked in Dimitris Angelakis’ group on Quantum Algorithms, Optimisation, QML, and related topics in the Center of Quantum Technologies (CQT).

I recently joined Richard Küng’s group as a PhD student at Johannes Kepler University in Linz.

Research Interests

I am interested in Quantum Machine Learning. In my research I would like to study quantum learning settings where the mathematical structure of quantum mechanics leads to an inductive bias in a quantum model that matches the structure it has to learn from a particular kind of dataset.

Personal Interests

I am also fervent on defending and advocating for equality and diversity in STEM fields, specially on Quantum 🌍 . I participated on the Erasmus + “Diversity in the Cultures of Physics: A European Summer School” project and I am part of the EDIphy committee at National University of Singapore (NUS).

Beyond my quantum endeavours, I love to read 📚 (here you can check some books that shaped me), travel in a conscious and sustainable way, and crochet 🧶 items for my fashion wardrobe and stimulate creative brain side. I also balance my workout routine with different activities like Muay Thai 🥊, Barre 🩰, Calisthenics 🏋️‍♀️ or Yoga 🧘.
