I am a Spaniard graduate student, and prospective Ph.D candidate, in the Department of Theoretical Computer Science, part of the School of Computer Science and Communication at the Royal University of Stockholm (also known as Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan, or in its short version... KTH).

Before landing in the beautiful Stockholm (claimed by 'some' as the capital of Scandinavia), I spent a couple of years in Uppsala, where I successfully pursued a M.Sc in Computer Science at Uppsala University.
And way before that, I basically resided in the heart of Castilla y León and city that witnessed my birth, Valladolid, where I did my first higher education studies, a B.Sc in Computer Science, at the University of Valladolid. Wow! It has been a long time!

My main goal during the Ph.D years is succeeding in researching on the topics of peer-to-peer computer networks modeling in the area of on-line social networks and considering the security and privacy, but also the technological and economical aspects of these popular distributed systems. While, at the same time, advance and research on the game-theoretical analysis of the information and its semantics in an anonymous and peer-to-peer distributed network.

Hopefully, with an interdisciplinary attitude, because I believe it is important to have this kind of perspective when doing anything towards a better, but specially, more fruitful findings as collaboration between scientists of different areas is a major pillar of science.
For these tasks, called Ph.D :), I will primarily have the guidance and help of my advisors, Sonja Buchegger and Johan Boye (in no particular order... but ladies always go first :).

Besides the previous research interests, in which my current focus lies on at the moment, I am also keen on product family engineering, software-intensive systems and agile methodologies, as well as pervasive computing environments and ambient intelligence.
