Academic interests
I am a biologist with a Master’s degree in Industrial and Environmental Biotechnology, currently pursuing a PhD focused on identifying convergent genomic signatures of plant adaptation to Arctic environments.
Background
I started my research career during the third year of my bachelor’s degree at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM), where I joined the Genetics group studying how climate change influenced Spanish and Moroccan Abies species. During this time, I learned the fundamentals of molecular research and gained my first experience in bioinformatics.
I completed my master’s thesis at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU), where I studied the genomic and epigenomic structure of grasses, combining laboratory experiments with bioinformatic analyses ranging from raw sequencing data processing to the identification of genetic polymorphisms.
In addition, I have worked as a bioinformatician on a Norwegian research project focused on identifying genetic variation and population-level differences in Norwegian beetles.
