    I obtained my BA in Philosophy at the University of Santiago de Compostela (BA Extraordinary Prize) and my MA in Analytic Philosophy at the University of Barcelona. I love philosophy in general. However, I feel a strong preference for Analytic Philosophy. Indeed, I am currently working in the Philosophy of emotions whithin this tradition, under the supervision of Esa Díaz León and Manuel García-Carpintero (founded by a FPU Grant). Among the topics that concern me the most, these are some of them: What is characteristic  of emotional phenomenology? Do emotions represent objective values? How can we solve the paradox of fiction? What is the relationship between emotions and our core axiological concepts?
    Outside the realm of academia, I enjoy reading philosophy (from different traditions), Galician literature and clinical psychology as well as practising Kendo and playing video games.
