Bio

I studied Environmental Sciences (B.Sc) at the Rey Juan Carlos University (Madrid, Spain), where I first experienced research, thanks to several grants that allowed me to collaborate with the Biodiversity and Conservation department. A great team from who I could learn a lot!

Next, I moved to the beautiful Sevilla to course a Master on Biodiversity and Conservation Biology at the Pablo de Olavide University, in close collaboration with Doñana Biological Station-CSIC. There, I had the pleasure of getting in contact with very interesting researchers of all matters within ecology and conservation sciences, and where I carried out my PhD, entitled "Spatial Patterns of Vulnerability in Terrestrial Mammals. Socioeconomic, land-use and species-specific correlates of extinction risk at a global scale", and supervised by Dr. Eloy Revilla and Dr. Manuela González-Suárez. As part of my PhD life, I also collaborated with the Biogeography Group, Humboldt University of Berlin, where I could delve into the land-use science world.

Then, I took part as a post-doc researcher of the LIFE DINALP Project, an amazing transnational effort to guarantee the conservation of the Dinaric Population of brown bear in Europe.

Currently, I live and work in Uppsala (Sweden). At the Ecology Department of the SLU, I research the impacts of alien invasive species of vertebrates under different future scenarios of climate and land-use change, in collaboration with Dr. Mariano Rodríguez-Recio and Prof. Tomas Pärt.
