Main research topics
- Line 1: Teaching Innovation to Foster Critical Use of Artificial Intelligence
Design and implementation of activities within different courses to promote a critical and appropriate use of AI, aiming to prevent a loss of student competencies. Impact will be measured through pre- and post-implementation questionnaires. - Line 2: Teaching Innovation to Enhance Employability
Design and implementation of activities aimed at improving student employability. Notable initiatives include STEAM Learning Journeys and the Scientific Portfolio. The objective is to strengthen students’ employability by assessing differences between those who participate in these activities and those who do not. - Line 3: Teaching Innovation for Inclusion and Diversity in Higher Education
Identification of synergies between technology-based subjects and soft-skills courses through an inclusive approach, always in coordination with the Office for Inclusion (ODI). Impact on competencies of students with Special Educational Support Needs (SEEN) will be evaluated through pre- and post-intervention questionnaires. - Line 4: Teaching Innovation to Promote Research Engagement
Implementation of activities beginning in the first academic year to link teaching and research, fostering dynamic and collaborative learning environments. The objective is to strengthen research motivation among students, assessing changes between the first and fourth years. - Line 5: Innovation for the Improvement of Educational Space Design
Analysis, evaluation, and proposals related to the design of classrooms, laboratories, workshops, and spatial reorganization, with the objective of optimizing user experience in the teaching–learning process.

Main research topics
- Line 1: High-Energy Physics and Quantum Information
Research in high-energy physics is one of the fundamental pillars for understanding the nature of matter at its smallest scales. Studies in quantum information are essential for the development and understanding of quantum computing algorithms. This line benefits from the consolidated expertise of Associate Professor Victor Ilisie Chibici and Dr. Javier Pérez Pérez, whose academic trajectories support the scientific robustness of this research area, in addition to contributions from doctoral researchers Ezequiel Valero Lafuente and Javier López Prieto. Current work focuses on the phenomenology of quantum gravity through particle physics, with particular emphasis on identifying potential observational signatures of effective quantum gravity theories in collider experiments and other high-energy processes.The line is also expected to incorporate studies on particle physics applied to medical physics, with a specific orientation to be defined. In the broader context of theoretical physics, quantum information represents a critical frontier for deepening our understanding of fundamental interactions. Research in this field has direct implications for the development of emerging quantum technologies, including quantum computing and quantum cryptography. - Line 2: Experimental Physics and Advanced Materials
This line draws on the expertise of Associate Professor Joaquín Santos Blasco, Dr. Daniel Diaz Anichtchenko, Dr. Joan Català Pérez, and doctoral researchers Alba Arroyo Fructuoso and Ali Esquembre Kucukalic. Short- and medium-term objectives include a systematic study of the properties of various materials under high-pressure conditions. The most cutting-edge research in high-pressure physics currently combines experimental methods with theoretical calculations; therefore, this line proposes conducting such studies through coordinated experimental and theoretical approaches. Exposing materials to high-pressure environments offers a wide range of applications from a fundamental perspective. High-pressure techniques are essential for validating or ruling out theoretical models and have been decisive in advancing our understanding of the electronic structure of semiconductors. - Line 3: Mathematics and Mathematical Physics
This line is supported by the expertise of M. Nuria de las Heras Santos, Alejandro Perdiguero O’Leary, and Sergio De María García. It serves as a transversal axis that provides the necessary mathematical foundation for the other two research lines. Research will be conducted in advanced data analysis methods and dimensionality reduction techniques. M. Nuria de las Heras Santos is currently developing her doctoral thesis titled “Generalizations of Principal Coordinates Analysis (PCoA) as a Dimensionality Reduction Tool. Applications to the Study of the Human Microbiota.” This methodological development will open avenues for subsequent research in the modelling of complex biological systems. Additionally, this line will continue to explore advanced mathematical methods for data analysis and dimensional reduction.
