Madrid, Spain

On-site

Worked at the ICMAT, one of Spain’s leading research institutes in mathematics, known for its focus on high-level theoretical and applied mathematical research.
Conducted research in fluid mechanics related to ocean surface dynamics, focusing on nonlinear partial differential equations and incompressible flow models.
Studied formation and propagation of singularities, as well as properties of the flow in low regularity domains.
Designed and executed simulations to model fluid behavior and provide insight.
Presented results at international conferences and co-authored peer-reviewed publications, developing strong communication skills for diverse technical and interdisciplinary audiences.
Collaborated in European-funded research consortia, building experience in structured, multi-partner projects and international teamwork.
