I come from a small Argentinean town located 800 km south of Buenos Aires. When I was five, my dad built a dome on top of the home's roof and put a telescope there. That's when I became interested in the Magellanic Clouds, our two closest irregular galaxies, seen as two ''Milky'' patches on the Southern skies.

After obtaining my Ph.D. in Astrophysics from the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias, I briefly worked as a Geophysicist. I later joined the Royal Observatory of Edinburgh as a Marie Curie postdoc, followed by a post as Research Scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy and, a postdoctoral position at the ETH Zürich.

I joined the Astrophysics group at the University of Surrey in 2013 as a Research Fellow and since 2016 I am a Lecturer in Astrophysics.
