While trying to decide what to study someone told me ‘Choose whatever allows you to help others more’. Throughout my studies in Mathematics and Physics in Granada, I discovered what a crucial role we have in improving our world and our understanding of it. I learnt to see them as two inseparable tools to explain nature and address some of the most fundamental questions about the Universe we live in. I am particularly keen to those arising in General Relativity, which deal with something as basic and yet as profound as the model for space and time. I am eager to learn as much as possible during my PhD to tackle some of the many fascinating open problems in the field. Along these years, I luckily came across wonderful teachers, who have made me the scientist I am today, thanks to whom I love what I study. They awoke in me the desire to one day have the same impact on future generations. Thus, I also hope to get training as an educator and science communicator, so that I can share my passion for what I do and encourage others to see the beauty and power of Mathematics and Physics. I feel immensely grateful for the chance to take the next step of my journey at Cambridge, and I am excited to join this passionate and inspiring community.
