Dr. Alicia Palacios is Associate Professor at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, with expertise on “High performance computing and ab initio calculations for the description of ultrafast process in gas-phase targets subject to attosecond laser pulses”. During her career, she has established solid international collaborations with experimental and theoretical groups, strengthened through several stays (Lawrence Berkeley National Lab from 2006 to 2009, and short stays at Université Bordeaux I, Universita di Trieste or, more recently, at DESY/FEL in Hamburg). Her academic and teaching activities include her dedication as Coordinator of the Master on Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modeling involving 14 Spanish universities (2021-24); and a solid formation as professor (Certificate of Expert in University Teaching 2019). Chair of the Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics Division at the European Physical Society (2022 to present). Member of the Editorial Boards of J. Phys. B and Communication Physics Journals, and Committee Member of the most relevant scientific international conferences in her field (currently: ICOLS, ECAMP, ATTO, CLEO-Europe). She received the Mildred Dresselhaus Junior Award in 2018 from Hamburg University and Cluster of Excellence CUI: Advanced Imaging for Matter.
