I studied a Master in Paleontology and a PhD in Geology and Geological Engineering at the Complutense University of Madrid. Currently, I am developing a postdoctorate at the University of O'Higgins, Chile. In Chile, I am responsible for the Tagua Tagua Milenaria project, which aims to launch scientific and educational initiatives that help local and national development, regarding an archaeological and paleontological heritage that spans from 13,000 years to the present. My line of research is focused on the paleoecology of herbivorous mammals in Chile. The proxies I use are stable isotopes, dental micro-wear and dental calculus.
