Physicist and writer.
He is Ikerbasque lecturer at the Donostia International Physics Center, where he directs the NEXT experiment, conducted at LSC, the Canfranc underground laboratory, as well as the nuESS experiment, conducted at the European Spallation Source. The goal of NEXT is to prove that the neutrino is its own antiparticle, and that of nuESS is to study a special type of interaction between neutrinos and matter that could reveal the existence of new physical phenomena. He has published two scientific books and five novels, the most recent of which is Nación neandertal (Espasa, 2024), as well as a book of poetry, Leaving Ithaca (Eolas, 2024). He is a regular contributor to Jotdown and the literary journal Mercurio.
