Full Professor in the Department of Botany at the University of Granada, where I teach Botany subjects in the degrees of Biology and Pharmacy. Although I have worked on the phylogeny of several groups of plants (bryophytes and algae), I am a specialist in vascular plant systematics (taxonomy, phylogeny, phylogeography), as well as in vascular plant conservation. I am also a specialist in taxonomy and chorology of plants from the southeastern Iberian Peninsula.
