What is your home town?
Barcelona, Spain

What research did you do while at Harvard Physics?
Theoretical cosmology, dark matter, statistics, machine learning

What are your plans for the future?
I have joined a hedge fund in NYC as a Quantitative Researcher.

What advice do you have for incoming G1 students? And any advice for those nearing the completion of their PhD?
For incoming G1s, remember to take advantage of what the broader Harvard community has to offer!

For those nearing the end, if you're thinking of applying for jobs in industry, get started early and don't put off asking for help: I went to OCS, attended talks by GSAS alumni that followed different paths post-graduation, and shamelessly reached out to friends and acquaintances for help navigating the job market.
