About me

I’m a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Área de Biodiversidad y Conservación, University of Rey Juan Carlos, funded by the Atracción del Talento Program(2025-2030) of the Madrid Community.

I study how aquatic communities and food webs of inland waters (lakes, ponds, rivers) respond to stressors like climate change, drought, and pollution. Using experiments, biomonitoring surveys and compilation and synthesis of data across spatial and temporal scales, I analyze changes in community and size structure, and biotic indices to predict ecosystem shifts and inform conservation strategies.
