Biography
Civil Engineering with a PhD entitled 'Close-Range Photogrammetry applied to Agroforestry Engineering' from the Department of Cartographic and Land Engineering, University of Salamanca (SP, 2016). Postdoctoral studies from Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands) in the department of Geosciences and Remote Sensing (2015-2017). Research staff member at Purdue University for the Institute for Plant Science, College of Agriculture (IN, USA) (2018-2021). Distinguished researcher at the University of Salamanca (SP) (2022-2023). Scientific Researcher at CIRGEO (Interdepartmental Research Center of Geomatics) from the University of Padua (IT) (2024). Currently, Excellence Researcher (RyC-Max) at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) (SP), in the Department of Ecology from the Desertification Research Centre (CIDE).
She is the founder and principal investigator of ecoNET Lab, to advance digital solutions for climate-resilient ecosystems. Her research bridges ecological and computer science to tackle environmenta challenges through advanced sensor networks and geospatial technologies.
