About Me

I obtained my four-year-degree in Physics in 2006 at the University of Barcelona. During the academic course 2006-2007, I got my Master in Biophysics at the same institution. I did a PhD under the supervision of Dr. Marta Ibañes Miguez and Prof. José María Sancho Herrero, in the Department of Structure and Constituents of Matter, at the University of Barcelona. On April 2013 I defended my PhD Thesis. My PhD focused on the study of pattern formation in animal and plant developing tissues from a theoretical perspective, in close collaboration with experimentalists.   During the following academic year after finishing my PhD was a Research Assistant at the same department where I did my PhD, finishing up different research projects, and widening my horizons for undertaking the next step in my research career.


From May 2014 until July 2020, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Sainsbury Laboratory at the University of Cambridge, in the Locke, Jönsson and Meyerowitz groups, combining theory and experiments for understanding in a quantitative manner how cellular and tissue patterns are formed in plants. I was also a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Queens' College


Since September 2020 I have my own research group in the Plant Developmental Biology Department at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne.  We are studying multicellular dynamics in plant development, combining theoretical and experimental approaches.  

Since May 2022 I joined the Cluster of Excellence on Plant Sciences (CEPLAS) as a Contributing Investigator.
