I was born in 1974 (04/12/1074) in Barcelona (Spain). I'm a hard-worker microbial ecologist and molecular biologist who likes to be involved in field research trips and enjoy visiting amazing places. I've been involved in several research topics concerning bacterial and archaeal diversity in freshwater aquatic environments, but also in salty sediments. Furthermore and due to my seek of knowledge, I performed a two years postdoctoral stage in Belgium dealing with the amazing genome of rotifers (mainly with Adineta vaga). The above mentioned scientific experiences have provided my with broad knowledge and capacities to face current scientific topics. I am currently developing my career at the Universitat de Vic – Universitat Central de Catalunya as permanent professor with academic and research duties. I'm devoted to my work but I also enjoy teaching swim lessons and waterpolo. Also I love nature and trekking in the mountains. I'm open minded and friendship people.
