Clàudia Soriano Guerrero

Claudia graduated with a bachelor’s degree in physics from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) in 2020. During her undergraduate studies, she actively participated in research within various groups and institutes. In 2018, she was a part of the Radiation department at UAB, where she occasionally collaborated with the Raman LIDAR CTA group and the meteorological data project at the MAGIC Weather Station. In 2019, she completed a research stage at the Institute of Space Sciences (ICE), focusing on searching for observational evidence of active galactic nuclei in compact elliptical galaxies and studying them experimentally.

In 2020, Claudia completed her bachelor’s thesis at the Institute for High Energy Physics (IFAE), which involved optimizing a discriminant to differentiate Higgs Boson signals from other processes predicted in the Standard Model.

Starting in 2020, she pursued a master’s degree in astrophysics, particle physics, and cosmology at the University of Barcelona (UB). Her master’s thesis concentrated on analyzing new data for the PGC012519 compact elliptical galaxy, a proposed candidate for a relic seed, using spectroscopy from the Gran Telescopio Canarias.

Currently, Claudia is a PhD candidate in the IMAGINE project, where she is researching planetary cooling.

She is keenly interested in planet and exoplanet sciences, particularly in studying these celestial bodies and developing techniques, tools, and instruments to extract information from them. Additionally, she has a fascination with the quest for extraterrestrial life on planets within our solar system and exoplanets. She is also intrigued by the space exploration industry and the potential for space settlement. In pursuit of this interest, she is an active member of the Space Generation Advisory Council, where she serves as the co-chair of the planetary group responsible for contributing to the Space Exploration Roadmap.

Claudia is also passionate about science communication and outreach. She co-founded the Catalan Association for Physics Students, actively participating in organizing talks, seminars, and visits to research centers. Currently, she holds the position of event manager at WIA-BCN (Women in Aerospace), further contributing to the aerospace community.
