I am a plant ecologist and my current work is investigating the effect of drought on plant-soil interactions in the Mediterranean-climate region. I am particularly interested in learning more about how plant root exudates mediate soil microbial diversity and function under water stress, and the feedbacks the microbial community have on plants. An increase in extreme drought events could negatively impact biodiversity and soil quality in both natural and agricultural habitats. Attempts to mitigate drought effects will benefit from a thorough understanding of water stress on plants and soils and also the complex interactions between the two.

I am an ecologist broadly interested in the effects of multiple stressors –natural or human related− on the functioning of ecosystems. I earned my degree in Environmental Sciences, and then moved to the Marine Ecology for my PhD. Much of my research interests lie at the intersection of environmental processes and human activities, and I am particularly enthusiastic about those projects that try to bridge science and resource management. I have worked in research institutions of Spain, the UK, and France, and in projects concerning terrestrial, marine and freshwater issues. My work so far has been focused on two major axes: (1) The functioning of coastal marine ecosystems, and specifically the response of plankton to changes in nutrients and turbulence; (2) The land-ocean interface, in particular the links existing between water resources, the agro−food system, and the flows of N and P to the environment. I am currently focused on characterising the N and P biogeochemical cycles in Mediterranean river basins.

I am a post doctoral researcher with a Juan de la Cierva funding. I did my undergraduate in Environmental Science at the University of Nottingham. Then I did my master in Biogeochemical cycles and Atmospheric Sciences in Lund University, Sweden. After I did my PhD in climate and the environment at the Brazilian National Institute of Amazonian Research (INPA) in co-supervision with the Max Planck Institute of Chemistry. Afterwards I continued as a post doctorate researcher for MPIC in the Amazon. My research was based on the interactions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) within and above a central Amazonian tropical rainforest. My latest position as a Post doctoranl researcher was at Freiburg University (Germany), working in a ERC grant trying to find out how much carbon is emitted by plants through secondary plant metabolism from tropical plants.

I am interested in the interaction between forest ecosystems and the atmospheric chemistry. Forest can react very quickly to changes in environmental factors, and up to date, not all processes have been described or elucidated. As global temperatures increase and climate change exacerbates it is important to understand how forested areas will react to such changes, as the impact in atmosphere can be very large, from direct global warming via aerosol and carbon dioxide production, increase the atmospheric lifetime of pollutants, or even alter rain distribution locally. We need to provide better information for modellers, so they can constrain the processes governing the forest atmosphere interactions so better guidelines on mitigation and adaptation strategies can be suggested to policy-makers.

I have a background in engineering as a bachelor in Remote Sensing Science and Technology (Wuhan University, China, 2021). As a postgraduate student, I investigated the topographic differentiation in forest drought responses via remote sensing products (Wuhan University, China, 2021-2024).
I explore ecological phenomena and patterns with remotely sensed data and products at large scales, and I am especially interested in how vegetation leaf phenology reflects the interaction between climate changes and plant life dynamics. I aim to enhance the connection between ecological measurements and satellite observations, that is why I chose my PhD program in calibrating remote sensing land surface phenology to species level.

My research in hydroclimatology focuses on understanding the dynamics and impacts of large-scale extreme climate events, particularly extreme precipitation, drought, and heatwaves.

My bachelor's study analyzed global trends in extreme precipitation across major river basins. During my master's research, I investigated the correlation between Sea Surface Temperature (SST) and drought/high-temperature events in China, developing predictive models using SST and atmospheric circulation factors as key predictors.

My current research involves the comprehensive evaluation of multiple global precipitation products for meteorological drought monitoring across 46 major river basins. Concurrently, I am conducting a long-term (40-year) assessment of drought characteristics in 59 global basins, utilizing a multi-indicator (SPI and SPEI) framework and a 3-dimensional identification approach to unravel the spatiotemporal variability of drought events.

Looking forward, I aim to expand this work to explore the role of tropical cyclones in driving global compound extreme events, such as concurrent heatwaves and droughts.
