Curriculum vitae

Graduated in History at the Universitat de Barcelona (UB) in 2022. In 2025, I completed the Erasmus Mundus Master's in Quaternary Archaeology and Human Evolution at URV and at the MNHN (Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle) in Paris. I am a beneficiary of a Joan Oró Predoctoral Fellowship (FI 2025) at IPHES-CERCA to carry out my PhD dissertation, supervised by Dr. Florent Rivals (IPHES-CERCA). My research focuses on the ecological adaptations and seasonal mobility of Neanderthal populations across diverse environments located to the north and south of the eastern Pyrenees, encompassing sites in northeastern Iberia (Catalonia) and southern France. I use a multi-proxy approach employing methods such as dental microwear, stable isotopes, and cementochronology to explore Neanderthal behavior and paleoecology.
