Núria Torres-Albà is currently a GECO fellow at the University of Virginia, in Charlottesville, USA. Her research is focused on active galactic nuclei (AGN) and their surroundings across the electromagnetic spectrum. In particular, she has worked on X-ray analysis of luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) and Compton-thick AGN in the local Universe, as well as the modeling of gamma-ray emission produced in the interactions between AGN jets and obstacles.

She obtained her PhD in 2019 at the University of Barcelona, in Spain. She was a postdoctoral fellow at Clemson University (Clemson, USA) between 2022 and 2024, before moving to Charlottesville as a GECO Fellow.
