Palaeontologist with a strong background in geology and crystallography. Main interests in vertebrate evolution and biomaterials. PhD in Earth Sciences at the Universidad de Zaragoza (Excellent Cum Laude and European Mention). Specialist in amniote eggshell structure. Author of 57 publications (34 indexed in the JCR) and over 70 communications at scientific meetings, including invited talks in Spain, Portugal, Argentina, Japan, and China. Expertise with analytical techniques, capable of operating an electron microscope. I developed an experimental procedure for analysing and characterizing eggshell structure using electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) in fossil eggshells, to explore the processes involved in eggshell formation and fossilization. This procedure is now being followed by palaeontologists in Europe, the USA and South Korea. With a strong preference for field palaeontology, I direct yearly field works in Spain and Portugal. Leader of research on a nesting site at a new site in the Spanish Pyrenees, featured in international news at over 50 different media, including National Geographic. Proficient in parsimony and model-based phylogeny, I work on a variety of vertebrate clades, including dinosaurs, crocodylomorphs and mammals. I have named 8 species and 7 genera, and 5 ootaxa. I have written and published scripts for cladistic analysis in TNT. I have undertaken research internships at Liverpool University (UK), Montana State University (US) and the Universidad de Rio Negro (Argentina) and shorter internships at museum collections in Italy, Australia and Spain. I currently have a second postdoctoral position at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa (Portugal, where I worked for the last 5 years. I have an extensive international collaboration network, co-authoring papers and working on projects with researchers from in Spain, Portugal, the United Kingdom, Argentina, the United States, Hungary, Romania, Russia and South Korea. Currently leading a team of 7 researchers plus 2 technicians, 4 of them funded by contracts and grants I secured, working on the evolution and formation of archosaurian eggshell. This project is funded by the Portuguese Government (FCT) with over 237,000 €, and includes researchers from the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, the Universidade de Aveiro, as well as collaborations and research contracts with Montana State University and the Universidad de Zaragoza. I have extensive teaching experience, having received the ANECA qualification as a “Profesor Ayudante Doctor”. I have codirected 3 master’s theses, at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa and the Universidad de La Laguna. Currently supervising 2 PhD theses, one on Jurassic Microvertebrates and the other on the Evolution of Basal Ornithopods. Both are supported by predoctoral grants from the FCT. I am currently teaching Vertebrate Palaeontology in Mestrado em Paleontologia at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, being supporting teacher in Methods in Palaeontology, Stratigraphy and Taxonomy, and Systematics. Interested in the transmission of knowledge, I codirected a documentary on marine crocodylomorphs, awarded with several prizes. I worked for two years as museum designer at PALEOYMAS, writing content for museums, musealizing outdoor routes and cell phone apps. Currently leading the project: MicroSaurus: a citizen science project (29,000 €)., developing the use of collaborative science for the collection of vertebrate microfossils from the Jurassic of Portugal.
