Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Swinburne University of Technology
My current research focuses on applying light-activated nanomaterials for infrared fluorescence bioimaging, sensing and photothermal stimulation. Luminescent nanoparticles can act as sensors of biologically relevant parameters, such as local temperature or electrical activity, enabling the study of the mechanisms behind biological processes in a contactless manner Before joining Swinburne as a Postdoctoral Researcher in July 2017, I completed a degree in Physics (2011) and a PhD in Photonics (2017) at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain. During my PhD, my research focused on developing strategies for fluorescence imaging of small animal models and on the application of nanoparticles for tumour-targeted imaging and therapy.
