I am a philosopher of biology exploring the nature of causal explanations in evolutionary research, with a special focus on development-based studies of the generation of phenotypic variation. 

I was born and grew up in Cádiz, south of Spain, and I studied Philosophy in Sevilla (US). I obtained Master's Degrees in Education in Granada (UGR), and in Logic and Philosophy of Science in Santiago de Compostela (USC). In 2020, I got my PhD in Philosophy of Biology from the Complutense University of Madrid with honors (dissertation).

After that, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the KLI - Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and Cognition Research (2021-2022), the CFCUL - Center for Philosophy of Science of the University of Lisbon (2022-2024), and the cE3c - Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Changes of the University of Lisbon (2025).

Since May 2025, I am Group Leader in Philosophy of the Life Sciences at the Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and Cognition Research (KLI), in Austria.

My research interests are: Philosophy of evolutionary biology; Philosophy of probability; Chance in evolution; Causality and dispositional explanations; Evolutionary developmental biology; Cultural evolution.
