Ph.D. in Agricultural Engineering, Senior Researcher at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), Department of Pomology, Experimental Station of Aula Dei, Zaragoza, Spain. Interests: Development and application of physiological, biochemical and molecular techniques for the selection and characterization of fruit trees well-adapted to Mediterranean conditions and to genotyping traditional genetic resources of the genera Prunus and Malus. Identification of genomic regions related to fruit quality traits in genetic analysis and genome-wide association. Conservation of genetic resources from the Rosaceae family breeding of fruit trees with good organoleptic properties and rich in phytochemical compounds with roles in human nutrition and health.
