Short bio

I studied Industrial Engineering and Big Data Science in Spain and later completed a master’s degree in Digital Engineering in Weimar, Germany. Since 2021, I have been working at IDAC at TUHH on research projects related to environmental and infrastructure monitoring. I particularly enjoy developing IoT-based monitoring systems that provide real-time data for digital twins. I have taught the course Smart Monitoring, helping students to understand the need for good-quality data in engineering practice and working with the students in developing sensor nodes and monitoring systems for environmental and structural health monitoring projects.

Within the DFG "Climate-Informed Engineering" Research Training Group, my research focuses on understanding how climate change affects and will affect in the future indoor environmental quality and building energy performance. By combining IoT-based indoor monitoring, user-centric comfort assessment, climate information, and digital twin technologies, I investigate how building environments need to adapt to future climate conditions. My work aims to develop smart, resilient, and energy-efficient buildings that support occupant well-being in a changing climate.
