I have been teaching regularly at the Universitat de Barcelona since 2008, but started teaching as a PhD student in 2002. I like teaching, and love teaching some subjects (I hope my students noticed!)
My main teaching areas are:
Botany (Biology, 2nd year): This is the one I enjoy most, perhaps because it was the one that caught my attention as an undergraduate student, when I was still thinking that I would devote myself to the study of fishes (!)
Population biology (Biology, 3rd year): The Agroecology group started as a Plant Population Biology group a long time ago, and thus we still contribute to this subject.
Biogeography (Biology, 3rd year): It's been some time since I have not joined the teaching team for this one on a regular basis, but it is an enjoyable subject in which we deal with vegetation distribution and its linkage with functional ecology.
GIS (Master): I have been lucky to be part of the quartet Aaron Pérez-Haase + Estela Illa + Enric Batllori + me; we constitute a group of four GIS users with very different focus and skills.
Introduction to R (Master): Such is life…
Field course on terrestrial plant and animal diversity (Master): Partnering two zoologists, Antonio Hernández and José Domingo Rodríguez-Teijeiro, two botanists spend four days working on plant communities and diversity in the Pyrenees.
Biodiversity Evaluation (Master): I collaborate with Miquel Salicrú at the computer lab sessions on numerical methods to measure and compare biodiversity.
Vegetation Analysis and Landscape Ecology (Master): I have a minor role in this one, mainly for landscape ecology and GIS labs.
Final project (Environmental Sciences and Biology undergraduate program): I supervise students for these undergraduate studies programs, on a regular basis; if you're a student interested in any of my research areas, please contact me.
