Welcome to my website. I am associate professor at the Department of Applied Mathematics (Technical University of Madrid). I got a MSc in Theoretical Physics (2000) and a PhD in Applied Mathematics (2010).
My research centers on identifying the mechanisms and processes that promote biodiversity in ecological communities, with implications on ecosystem maintenance and sustainability. I have published research contributions in high-impact journals such as Nature Ecology and Evolution, The ISME Journal, Ecology Letters, Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Physical Review Letters, Journal of the Royal Society Interface, The American Naturalist, and Ecology. My areas of expertise include biodiversity description and modeling at multiple scales, community ecology, and complex systems. All of these topics are approached from the perspective of complex systems, integrating stochastic process theory, nonlinear dynamics, computer simulation, statistics, and multivariate data analysis. Ultimately, the theoretical modeling of natural systems aims to generate practical insights for the conservation of biodiversity in the face of global environmental change.
