Teaching

I have 4 years experience in lecturing as a teacher assistant at the Physics Department of Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) during 2008/09 and 2009/10 academic years, and Universidad de Granada (UGR) during 2019/20 and 2020/21 academic years. I have also given tutorials in schools for PhD students: the Guillermo Haro Advanced School on Integral Field Spectroscopy Techniques and Analysis in Mexico 2014, and the 2nd SELGIFS Advanced School on Integral-Field Spectroscopic Data Analysis in Madrid 2016. I obtained the Certificat d’Aptitud Pedagògica (CAP) in the Institut de Ciències de l’Educció of UAB during in 2007, which is a requirement in Spain to teach at high school level. I finished the certification of the program Formació Docent en Educació Superior (FDES) at the Unitat d’Innovació Docent en Educació Superior (IDES) of UAB during 2008/09 and 2010/11 academic years, and obtained the certification of Associate Level after completing the program Preparation for the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Classroom: An Introduction to Evidence-Based STEM Teaching at the Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching and Learning (CIRTL) of the University of Pittsburgh. Since 2021 I am teaching at the Postgraduate programme MasterCosmosBCN at UAB.
