My scientific background includes a diverse and multidisciplinary range of skills in evolutionary biology as well as experience in genetic "wet-bench", ecology field work, statistical analyses, software development (R packages), and theoretical simulations. As a masters degree student, I worked on supernumerary chromosomes of the grasshopper Eyprepocnemis plorans using cytogenetics and molecular methods. As PhD student, I investigated the evolutionary history of populations in the recent plant species Erysimum mediohispanicum. For that, I combined research on three aspects: plant genetics, plant phenotype, and plant-pollinator interaction. During my PhD I got experience in programming using R and I became more interested in theoretical approaches, including new algorithms development. Currently, I'm interested in the intersection between bioinformatics, genetics, and ecology, specifically in the study of evolution from both empirical and theoretical perspectives.
