He graduated as a Forest Engineer from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) in 2012 and defended his PhD at the same university in 2017. He currently works as a postdoctoral researcher at the UPM. His research is broadly on the ecophysiology of plants. He is particularly interested in carbon metabolism, and specifically studies the assimilation and allocation of carbon compounds in the different plant organs as a response to several biotic and abiotic stresses.

He started his scientific career by performing his thesis on the possible adaptation of the Canary Island pine (Pinus canariensis) to volcanism, focusing on individual tree resource use and performance during and after an eruption. During his PhD, he did two three-months pre-doctoral research stays, one at the Seconda Università degli Studi di Napoli (Italy - 2013) and the other at the WSL (Switzeland -2015). After his PhD defense, he continued to work on the Canary Islands ecosystems during two postdoctoral research stays at the WSL (2018 and 2019 - 2021) as well as during his present position as a postdoctoral researcher in the UPM. During these periods, he focused on the importance of fog impact in certain ecosystems, studying the effect of the fog and its intra- and inter-annual dynamics on tree physiology. Besides the work in the Macaronesian area, he has also developed studies in other Mediterranean and temperate systems. In these systems, he has assessed the effects of biotic (plagues and silvicultural practices) and abiotic (drought) stresses on carbon allocation and new tissue formation in tree species as well as on soil microbe populations. The result of this research are 10 articles in scientific journals indexed on the JCR (9 of them in Q1) and 19 contributions to national and international conferences.

He has used a multidisciplinary approach in his research including genetic, anatomical and physiological data. This has allowed him to improve the knowledge on tree responses to past events. His next step is attempting to forecast plant species performance to future changes in their environments, bringing together his multidisciplinary prior expertise. Therefore, he envisions his future scientific career to lie in building on his existing knowledge by learning and applying dynamic vegetation models.

During his scientific career he has been funded by 9 competitive calls: FPU fellowship from the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports; Legado Emilio González Esparcia fellowship; Ramón Areces Foundation fellowship, and Maria Zambrano fellowship among others; as well as in non-competitive calls: COST actions, EU 7th Framework programs.

Besides, he has contributed to teaching in several BSc courses at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, as well as supervised a BSc thesis. He has also teached in both an MSc and PhD course at the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich (Switzerland). In addition, he has been a member of the organizing committee of a national conference (2015- III Reunión Sanidad Forestal – SECF). Finally, as a consequence of his broad methodological approach to his core questions, he has or has had collaborations with 53 researchers of 15 different institutions on Europe and USA.
