I used to play rugby and we won the Spanish Junior Championship. One of the things that I liked the best that I learned there was how to make a good team. There’s a position for everyone, and I think this is kind of the same thing in DUNE or any collaboration like us. There’s some space or position for different skills and different people. I’m in the DAQ [data acquisition] high-end computing consortium, working on simulations, and data management and movement. One of the things that I love most is how I’ve made really good friends during my time as an undergraduate and my PhD and now as a postdoc. You end up meeting people at conferences from around the world. I am also quite amazed that during my short career I have seen so many really interesting discoveries, like the Higgs boson and gravitational waves. People will read about these amazing breakthroughs in books in the years to come – and we hope we can contribute to that with DUNE.
