I am a specialist in Plant Population Genomics and Evolution, thanks to my extensive international experience acquired in reference research centres in Europe. I have spent 48 months in Scandinavia (Oslo Botanical Garden/Danish Museum of Natural History), 21 months at the Free University of Brussels, 56 months in the UK (Kew Gardens/University of Exeter) and 10 months at the French Agricultural Research Institute in Bordeaux, INRA. During this international period, I have had the opportunity to develop research, supervisory and management skills and have built up a wide international network of collaborators in Europe, Africa and South America.I currently hold a María Zambrano contract (international talent attraction programme of the Spanish Ministry of Innovation) at the University of A Coruña. Most of my research consists of empirical studies in plant evolution, biogeography, speciation and, more recently, ecological adaptation in useful plants and their wild relatives, with a special focus on response to climate change and plant-human interactions. I am the last author of one paper (and one in review) and the first author of 14, including a paper in PNAS funded by my own Marie Curie project that received broad international press coverage by 15 international press media in four different languages. My articles include co-authors from developing countries and have 2,508/919 citations, 946/561 since 2018 (Research Gate/Google Scholar; 06/11/2023).I have also obtained eight competitive research contracts, the last four developing my own research programme, this includes a postdoctoral contract from the international mobility call of the Spanish Ministry of Innovation, a postdoctoral fellowship from the prestigious Barrié de la Maza private foundation, and a Marie Skłodowska Curie. I have participated in a total of 12 large research projects, 10 of them competitive (8 as a team member - worth 865,570 € - and two as PI for 451,392 €). I am currently co-PI of a project of the Plan Nacional I+D+i.During my research career, I have co-supervised four PhD students, and have fully supervised three master's projects, three final-year projects, one postdoc and two undergraduate interns. I am currently supervising two more master's projects and an internship in bioinformatics at the University of A Coruña. I have teaching experience at the undergraduate and master’s level, including the coordination of a masters module, at the University of A Coruña, Kew Gardens, the Biology Department of the SEK University, Spain, the Menéndez Pelayo International University (UIMP-CSIC), and the University of Exeter, where I taught courses on "Botany", "Phanerogamy", "Phylogenetics", "Conservation in Tropical Areas", "Molecular Techniques for Diversity Assessments" and "Plant Biogeography".I am a member of the Board of Directors of the Spanish Society for Evolutionary Biology (SESBE), an elected member of the Linnean Society of London (the oldest active biological society in the world), and part of the Editorial Board of the journal Collectanea Botanica (Instituto Botánico CSIC). I regularly evaluate projects for four research agencies, including the main agencies in the UK and Spain: Natural Environment Research Council, NERC and Agencia Estatal de Investigación, AEI. I have participated in two PhD, 20 MSc and 6 final-year examining boards and contributed to 41 scientific conferences (two as a plenary speaker, two invited talks) as well as two as an organiser), I am coordinating citizen science events, such as the Biomarathon of Spanish Flora in Galicia, or dissemination activities, mainly in natural history and science museums and botanic gardens. I have contributed to the transfer of botanical research results in a number of projects.
