Background

MSc in Science and Technology of Water at the University of Girona. BSc in Biology at the University of Girona.

Research Interests

I have always been interested in environmental science, water supplies and global climate change. More specifically I am focused with the study of the N, C and S microbial communities in Peatlands which are directly related with greenhouse gas emissions. We also study the Peatland microbial community under different climate factors such as changes in precipitation, temperature and atmospheric nitrogen deposition. 

Projects

2012 – present: Effects of nitrogen and sulfate deposition and temperature on the microbial community structure and functional groups in boreal minerotrophic mires – analysis of a long-term permanent field manipulation experiment.

2009 – present: PEATBOG - Pollution and Temperature Impacts on Peatland Biodiversity and Biogeochemistry (ERA-net BiodivERsA). Investigating the impact of nitrogen pollution and climate change on the diversity and function of the microbial communities in European peatlands.

2009 – 2010: Application of a novel Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis Assay for Characterization of the genotypic diversity of Norovirus in a Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant in Göteborg, Sweden.

2007 – 2009: Development and Application of a Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis Assay for Characterization of Genetic Diversity of Norovirus in Wastewater.
