“I study the responses of mountain plant species to environmental change, with main focus in genomics and evolution, but also at the plant community level. I am also interested in comparative phylogeography and the search for common evolutionary responses across species exposed to the same historical events. After obtaining the PhD degree in molecular plant systematics in the Autonomous University of Barcelona in 2017, I started my postdoc project in 2018 in the Department of Botany of the University of Innsbruck, where I hold a tenure track position as assistant professor since 2020.”
