What made you decide to do a PhD in PICs and pursue a career in this field?
“When you choose to do a PhD, you often don’t really know what you are getting yourself into. But I knew I always liked making things smaller. I studied electrical engineering in Madrid and specialized in microelectronics because I wanted to make chips. When I was looking for PhDs, all the projects that I liked were in the field of making things smaller. The one in Glasgow that was in integrated optics, I pretty much got into by accident. I went to the city without any expectations, and they managed to get sun on the day I had my interview! The people were also very friendly, I just loved it immediately. From there, I continued my journey.”
