Supervisor: John R. Stauffer
09/2009–06/2010
Collaboration grant (University of La Laguna, Canary Islands)
Post-experiment analysis of a 3D numerical simulation of the evolution of plasma in the Sun: Study of the results of a 3D numerical experiment about the fluid dynamics, magnetic field and the interaction between the radiation field and plasma in the Sun. Grant awarded by the Science and Education Ministry of Spain.

06/2009–09/2009
ESAC Trainee Project (European Space Agency, ESA, Madrid)
Determination of physical parametres of B-type stars with VOSA in the UV-range: In order to determine the physical parametres of hot O and B stars, we demonstrate that the results using UV spectra are better than using only the visible and infrarred range. We also developed a new way to determine the interstellar reddening.
Supervisors: Carmen Morales Durán, Angello Cassatella and Enrique Solano
2005–2006
Excellence Grant (Complutense University of Madrid)
Near-infrared J- and K-band imaging observations of the UCM galaxy survey: Image composition in different infrarred bands in order to create false color images of the UCM galaxy Survey.
Supervisor: Jaime Zamorano
