Our research focuses on understanding the underlying mechanisms that determine species ranges and how human activities reshape biotic communities. The research group ( Ecology & Evolution Lab ) incorporates cutting-edge analytical and genetic techniques to conduct studies on biogeography, community ecology, population genetics and conservation biology.
Leveraging genomic technologies for the conservation and management of marine biodiversity (Blue DNA)
Blue DNA
Monitoring of marine biodiversity using environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques, early detection of exotic species with invasive potential, and other genomic applications that can be used for marine biodiversity conservation.

The main objective of this research project is to co-develop digital twins for predicting water quantity and quality in the Ter and Tordera basins, including catchments, reservoirs and coastal areas, contributing to efficient water resource management, protecting ecosystems and maximising water security in a climate change context.
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.
The project aims to design nature-based wastewater treatment solutions specifically adapted to high-mountain conditions.
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.
DengRIP is a community-centered project addressing dengue and other arboviral diseases in West Africa through improved mosquito surveillance, risk prediction, and vector control. It combines scientific research, citizen participation, and local capacity building to strengthen outbreak preparedness in urban areas such as Ouagadougou.
