PhD in Biology from the University of Barcelona (2006). Her doctoral thesis was developed as part of a project under the EU’s 5th Framework Programme, under the supervision of Dr. Francesc Sabater (UB) and Dr. Eugènia Martí (CEAB-CSIC). The thesis focused on nutrient dynamics and metabolism in Mediterranean rivers affected by nutrient inputs from human activities. The project results contributed to the development of decision-support tools for water resource managers.
