Research interests
My research is mainly focused on Analytical Chemistry as a tool for understanding environmental contamination and its implications for ecosystems and human health. I am particularly interested in the presence, distribution, and fate of chemical contaminants in the environment, as well as their potential impacts on organisms and the processes that influence their transport and transformation.
My work focuses on developing and applying analytical methods, particularly those based on chromatography and mass spectrometry, to monitor a wide range of organic contaminants in environmental, food, and biological samples. I aim to contribute to a better understanding of how contaminants move through the environment, accumulate, transform, and ultimately reach living organisms.
Education
I am currently working as a postdoctoral researcher in the field of analytical and environmental chemistry.
2022: PhD in Advanced Chemistry, University of Almería, Spain
2016: MSc Chemical Science and Technology, National University of Distance Education, Madrid, Spain
2015: BSc Chemistry, University of Almería, Spain
