Summary

I am an Associate Professor and researcher at Botany Area of the Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemical Engineering at Pablo de Olavide University (Seville, Spain). I am a botanist but I also like to define myself as an evolutionary biologist. My final objective is to contribute to the knowledge and conservation of the biodiversity that surrounds us. My main research interests are on systematics and evolution of angiosperms. I try to answer questions related with the topics of when, how and why are species (and in general biodiversity) generated. I am also very interested in biogeography, this is, explaining the processes causing the distribution of species. To accomplish these task, I use multidisciplinar approaches ranging from classic taxonomy to molecular phylogenetics, estimation of divergence times, cytogenetic evolution, phylo- and biogeographic analyses. Finally, I am also interested in conservation biology, particularly in relation with conservation genetics. I am also the curator of UPOS herbarium
