I received my PhD in Biology from the University of Barcelona (Spain) in 2005. My research career has been focused on two main topics: limnology (planktonic ecology) and theoretical ecology (spatial ecology). In particular, my research interests are on the study of animal movement and dispersal, at different scales and based on different methodologies. My work continues at the interface between theory and empirical work, based on movement models of animals and data to test those models. Of special interest have been Levy walk models and anomalous diffusion, both in terms of data and in terms of the evolutionary analysis of optimal foraging. In the present I am working with Simon Levin at the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology in Princeton University.
