Scientist passionate about agricultural innovation. With a background in the development and evaluation of bioactive compounds, I have led multidisciplinary projects that have resulted in obtaining bioactive compounds that improve different plant parameters such as rooting (+10% increase in root dry weight), productivity (increases of more than 5% in crop weight) and quality parameters such as fruit color or BRIX grades. I am currently doing pre-doctoral studies in the field of plant breeding. This project is focused on the bioinformatics study of the sunflower-Orobanche cumana relationship, being O. cumana a parasitic plant that affects sunflower crop yield
I hold a Master's Degree in Industrial and Agri-Food Biotechnology (University of Almería) and I am currently a PhD student in the Doctoral Programme in Agricultural Engineering, Food, Forestry and Sustainable Rural Development (University of Córdoba and University of Seville), as a beneficiary of the CSIC "Momentum" programme.
