I hold a PhD in Quaternary and Prehistory from the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (2024), with international mention. My doctoral research focused on the techno-typological analysis and spatial organisation of the assemblage from subunit TD10.2, at the Gran Dolina site (Atapuerca). Throughout my training, I developed expertise in lithic technology and refits, spatial statistics, and geographic information systems. My research integrates archaeostratigraphic studies, lithic technology, and spatial point pattern analysis, with the primary aim of refining chronostratigraphic frameworks, generating high-resolution spatio-temporal data, and gaining behavioural insights into technological organisation, subsistence strategies, and occupation dynamics of human populations during the Pleistocene.

I actively contribute to several research projects, including those at Atapuerca, the Malia rock shelter, and in the South Caucasus (Armenia). Additionally, I co-lead a research project at Abauntz Cave (Navarre), which explores the population dynamics of late Neanderthals in the western Pyrenees.

Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher within the DEATHREVOL project (ERC-2020-StG) at the National Research Center of Human Evolution (CENIEH). In this role, I investigate the origins and evolution of funerary behaviour in Pleistocene context, with a focus on their spatial manifestations.
