I hold a Degree in Chemistry (Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, 2002) and a PhD in Soil Science (Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, 2009). I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the USC (2009-2010) and at the Paris Institute of Technology for Life, Food and Environmental Sciences (AgroParisTech) (2010-2012). Later on, I worked as an Assistant Professor in Soil Science in AgroParisTech for two years (2012-2014) before returning to Spain under a Juan de la Cierva contract (Universidade de Vigo, 2014-2017), followed by a Ramon y Cajal contract (University of Santiago de Compostela, 2018-2022). My research career has been focused on the influence and impacts of human activities (agriculture, mining, urbanization…) on soils, as well as on the development of techniques for remediation of the negative impacts, mainly based on the use of composts and organic amendments.
