I currently hold a Ramón y Cajal position at the University of Barcelona. Before this, I held a postdoctoral fellow (Juan de la Cierva-Incorporation Grant) at the University of Barcelona (UB) (2018-2021) and a postdoctoral fellow (Juan de la Cierva-Training Programme) in the Centro Mixto – Complutense University of Madrid (UCM)-Instituto Salud Carlos III (ISCIII) – Research Group in Human Evolution at the UCM (2016-2018), led by Juan Luis Arsuaga. I worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Lisboa (Portugal) and as invited scholar at the Université Aix-Marseille (France). I graduated in History and hold a PhD in Archaeology (with European Mention) from the University of Barcelona (2013). I was a visiting PhD fellow at the University of Arizona (USA), Université de Toulouse (France) and University of Bristol (United Kingdom). I am the author/coauthor of more than 130 papers, 69 of them in indexed and peer review journals, and my h-index is 19 in Scopus, with 1,348 citations. I am currently involved in several national and international projects. The Palaeolithic in south-western Europe has been the primary focus of my research and I specialise in the Taphonomy and Zooarchaeology of large mammals. My main research line is Human-carnivore relations in Quaternary landscapes and within this line, I address various subtopics, including human subsistence behaviour, hominin-carnivore interactions, fire management, mortuary activities, palaeobiology and the relationship between societies and ecosystems, among others. These interests have led to my undertaking archaeological excavations at several sites in the Iberian Peninsula: most notably, the Garraf massif (Spain), the Almonda karst system (Portugal) and the Abrigo do Lagar Velho (Portugal). Since 2002, I have led an archaeological team working in Palaeolithic studies, directing more than fifty different field excavation seasons, and I have also acted as the scientific coordinator of multidisciplinary studies. Additionally, I currently collaborate in the analysis of fauna from archaeological excavations undertaken by other teams.
