I obtained my PhD degree in Biological Sciences in 1998 at the Universitat de Barcelona, supervised by Prof. Montserrat Aguadé, focused in population genetics of Drosophila. Since 1998 to 2002 I did several postdocs (Prof. Weng-Hsiung Li in Human evolution, Houston, TX, Dr. J. Rozas in statistical Genetics, Barcelona, Prof. M. Aguadé and Prof. O. Savolainen for analysis of variability in A. thaliana, Barcelona). In 2002 I started a postdoc in the Max-Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology at Jena (Germany) in the group of Dr. T. Mitchell-Olds, where I was working in statistical analyses of variability at large scale. I returned to Spain in 2005 with an assistant professor position at the Department of Genetics, UB, Barcelona. In 2008 I won a Ramon y Cajal position at CRAG centre and I developed research in multigenic analysis of variability. In 2013 I was contracted as a researcher by the CRAG. At CRAG I have developed my own research lines, based on studying the patterns of variability, developing statistics and methods to detect different signals of evolutionary events and development of software for understanding the causes of diversity.
