I collaborated with the Fire and Combustion Processes Laboratory, under the supervision of Prof. Carlos Fernandez-Pello, studying the propagation of smouldering fronts on porous fuel beds following ignition by hot particles.
This experience was funded by a J.M. Lessell's scholarship awarded by the Royal Society of Edinburgh. -

In May 2012, I was awarded a small grant with the objective of organizing activities targeted at improving the quality of life of low and medium income communities in Caracas, Venezuela. 10 different activities (during the course of four months) were developed and carried out with the help of local citizens, specifically targeting children and seniors.
