I perform my research at the intersection between Archaeology, Human Evolution, Environmental Sciences and Organic Geochemistry, developing and applying analytical techniques rooted in Organic Geochemistry and Proteomics to bring to light information from the invisible organic archaeological record. Although most of my work has been focused on environmental and microbial biomarkers, my main goal has been to generate insights into a clearer, more holistic understanding of human environment interactions and ancient diets. No other aspect of behaviour speaks to our interaction with the environment as what we eat. We are what we eat, and through diet we make the environments our own, modifying the landscape, we interact with the environment and other populations, settling in regions that then become territories. The understanding on human-environment interactions through the study of the landscape and ancient diets has been the overarching goal of my research. More recently, I have expanded this goal to explore the impact of globalisation and industrialization in our health, particularly in the gut microbiome, by exploring the lipids produced by bacteria in the gut. The combination of these three axis, human-environment interactions, diet, and microbiome and health, constitutes the foundation of my future research, the study of the human impact in the environment and our health. I have a significant track-record in three areas of research: (1) the study of ancient diets; (2) ancient microbiomes and health; and (3) human-environment interactions. I have been involved in the study of these topics through participation in a number of long-term interdisciplinary and international projects in which I have played different roles including team leader, organic geochemist, field archaeologist and laboratory analyst. My research career can be summarized in the following indicators: 2 international research projects as PI; 14 peer-reviewed publications (12 articles indexed in the Journal of Citation Report (JCR); 4 as main author); 1 book chapter; and 23 papers at international and national conferences from 2008 to 2020. My unique profile and interdisciplinary trajectory demonstrate that I have the capacity to reach professional maturity and independence. After more than 6 years conducting research in USA and Denmark with multiple international world-leading research teams, I am now building my own laboratory at the University of Copenhagen.
