Degree in Biology (1998) and PhD in Biology (2005) from the University of Barcelona. Assistant Professor of Biostatistics at the University of Barcelona (2006–2008). Postdoctoral researcher at the University of Montreal (Canada, 2006–2009). Postdoctoral researcher (2009–2013) and researcher (2013–2021) at the Forest Science and Technology Centre of Catalonia (CTFC). Since 2021, I have coordinated the Ecosystem Modelling Centre at CREAF, a unit dedicated to developing tools and models for ecological modelling, as well as supporting statistical and numerical modelling activities. Since January 2026, I have been a tenured CSIC researcher at CREAF.

My most significant contributions are in the field of statistics applied to community ecology. My current research interests focus on modelling plant community dynamics at various scales (plot, landscape, and region).

I am currently a member of the editorial boards of Journal of Vegetation Science and Phytocoenologia.
