I'm particularly interested in plant-minerals-microorganisms interactions and how they contribute to elemental cycling, soil development, and water chemistry. I would like to learn more about the application of the soil ecological findings into soil quality assessment and soil and water management.I graduated in Environmental Sciences from the Universitat de València (UV, 2012), and then took a Master´s degree in Soil and Water Management at the Universitat de Lleida (UdL, 2014). I obtained my PhD in Environmental Biogeochemistry from the University of Leeds (UK) in 2017. I was looking at the controls on microbial diversity and sediment biogeochemistry along the salinity gradient of a dynamic estuary.I joined the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and the CREAF in 2018 as a postdoc researcher and I am currently teaching in different modules related to soil science. Besides, I am getting involved in education projects and scientific outreach activities.
