My field of research is Aquatic and Aerial Microbial Ecology. Present research activities are oriented to explore the temporal dynamics and diversity of airborne microorganisms , and also studying the ecology and diversity of eukaryotic microorganisms (Protists) from different inland aquatic systems (high mountain lakes, saline lagoons, and euxinic ponds). Different collaborations on general microbial ecology aspects covering other areas (soil, gut and indoor microbiota) have been carried out recently.

PROJECTS
AEROSMIC studies the functional traits present in the aerial microbiota with long-range dispersal in the free troposphere using one of the largest long-term data sets available at a high mountain point above the boundary layer collected by our own group of investigation.
INTERACTOMA proposes computational approaches that exploit the co-occurrence of genes with known and unknown function and the environmental co-occurrence of different microbial species to generate hypotheses and prioritize future research objectives with ecological or biotechnological interest, using saline lakes and lakes as model systems. alpines, as well as the microbiome of animal and plant host species along climatic and geographic gradients.
