My research carrier is based on detecting and solving environmental problems related to surface water quality. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in 2011 at the Technical University of Catalonia. My work was focused on the development of a multi-biomarker approach to identify major aquatic pollutants causing detrimental effects in the field. I participated in six national and international projects and gained experience in working with different research groups including two months conducting field expeditions in the Costa Rican National Park Palo Verde, monitoring the environmental hazards of pesticides used for pineapple production over fish populations. Following my Ph.D. studies, I spent six years with a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Aveiro, Portugal, where I engaged with several collaborative projects and focused on using different analytical and ecotoxicological approaches to identify emerging effects of contaminates in the different invertebrate aquatic species. Then, gained a two-year postdoc scholarship to work at the IDAEA-CSIC institute, Barcelona focused the integration of omic approaches with apical changes in an organism in response to anthropogenic stress. At present, I am interested in developing more ecological-related studies that address the organism and population consequences of animal behavior impairment due to pollution exposure.
