I am a philosopher of biology exploring the nature of causal explanations in evolutionary research, with a special focus on development-based studies of the generation of phenotypic variation. I studied Philosophy in Sevilla, where I graduated in 2013. Later, I obtained Master's Degrees in Education (Granada, 2014) and in Logic and Philosophy of Science (Santiago de Compostela, 2015). In 2015, I joined the Complutense University of Madrid with a predoctoral fellowship from the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness. I obtained my PhD in 2020 with a thesis titled Variational Probabilities and Developmental Propensities: a Philosophical Study of Chance in Evolutionary Variation. More recently, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and Cognition Research in Austria (2021-2022) and at the extinct Center for Philosophy of Science of the University of Lisbon (2022-2024). Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Changes (cE3c) of the University of Lisbon. My research interests are: Philosophy of evolutionary biology; Philosophy of probability; Chance in evolution; Causality and dispositional explanations; Evolutionary developmental biology; Cultural evolution. I have published 7 indexed journal articles, 4 book chapters, 11 non-indexed journal contributions, and I have co-edited two journal special issues. I've been involved in the organization of 8 scientific events, and have been part of the scientific committee of several others. I have participated in 23 events through contributed talks, and I have also been invited to present my work 24 times. I have been involved in 6 academic projects, 4 of which within the Spanish system and 2 through the Norrwegian Academy of Science and Letters. I have been a research visitor in KU Leuven (3 months, 2017), the Center of Advanced Studies in Oslo (4 months, 2019), and the University of Vienna (3 months, 2024).
