Postdoctoral researcher funded by Axudas de apoio á etapa de formación posdoutoral (ED481B-2023-040), Xunta de Galicia.

PhD in Natural and Human Sciences at Muséum National d´Histoire Naturelle. My research career has been focused on the study of small mammals, including taxonomy, taphonomy, two-dimensional geometric morphometrics and palaeoecology.

At MAPAS Lab, I am currently working on the assumption that rodents exhibit limited adaptability to the cyclic environmental changes of the Pleistocene epoch. To achieve this, a multifaceted approach will be adopted, combining traditional and cutting-edge methodologies.
