About

I am a palaeobiologist interested in the evolutionary history of small mammals, particularly lagomorphs, and how fossil evidence can be used to reconstruct past biodiversity, life histories and ecosystem responses to environmental change. My research combines classical palaeontology with bone histology, morphometrics, 3D technologies and quantitative approaches.

I obtained my degree in Biology from the Autonomous University of Barcelona and an MSc in Biological Anthropology atUniversity of Barcelona. In the former, I completed my PhD on the evolution of insular small mammals from the Mediterranean Islands. After working as an associate professor, I joined the University of Rome Tre as a postdoctoral researcher, broadening my expertise in vertebrate palaeontology and evolutionary biology.

Between 2021 and 2024, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Universidade da Coruña, where I established my own research line as Principal Investigator through a competitive research grant. In 2025, I joined CIBIO (Portugal) as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow to develop the REvoBBIT project. Later that year, I was awarded a Ramón y Cajal Fellowship and returned to the Universidade da Coruña, where I currently lead my research on the evolution and palaeobiology of small mammals.

Alongside my research, I have over 800 hours of university teaching experience, have obtained four teaching accreditations, and have supervised undergraduate, master's and PhD students. I am also committed to Open Science, developing digital repositories and 3D resources for research, teaching and scientific outreach.
