Project-linked technician, my tasks are associated with carrying out laboratory techniques, bioinformatics data analysis and support during the research group’s field campaigns. Current project: Blue

It focuses on detailed taxonomic analysis and trophic-functional assessment of soft-bottom macrobenthos in various regions worldwide, with the aim of providing rigorous scientific advice to support the completion of environmental monitoring and impact management studies for projects.

My interests in marine biology are broad and include all kinds of research conducted along the northern coast of Catalonia: from the ecology and acoustics

The project provides tools to guide the management and restoration of P. oceanica, a key species that stabilises sediments, sequesters CO₂ and provides habitat for numerous species, but which is currently declining due to human impacts.

This project is being developed within the framework of an ICOOP grant (a CSIC Scientific Cooperation Program for Development), which aims to stimulate collaboration between CSIC research groups and international research groups in countries receiving Official Development Assistance through training, work, and specialization stays for research groups from participating entities.

Aquatic non-native species are spreading globally due to human activity, yet little is known about how these invasions occur and evolve. This pioneering project uses environmental DNA (eDNA) to study the phases of biological invasion in various aquatic ecosystems, aiming to better understand these processes and provide tools to tackle the biodiversity crisis.

The new Blue Carbon Ecosystems Research Network in Spain brings together experts from across the country to promote the conservation of saltmarshes and seagrass meadows. Its goal is to generate knowledge, advise authorities, and foster policies and projects that harness the potential of BCEs to fight climate change and support sustainability.

Given the recent detection of Perkinsus infecting mussels cultivated in the aquaculture area of the Ebro Delta and the lack of knowledge regarding its diversity, distribution, and ecology, this project aims to assess the epidemiological status of the disease Perkinsosis in the mussel aquaculture sector in Catalonia, in order to understand its potential impact.

A project that applies genetics to study biodiversity in marine ecosystems and detect invasive species.
