Doctor in Forestry Engineering from the UPM. She is currently an assistant lecturer in the Department of Forest and Environmental Engineering and Management at the same University. She began her research with works on the management of protected species and spaces. Currently her research work is developed mainly in the field of landscape ecology, more specifically in the ecological modeling of connectivity and movement patterns of fauna.
PhD. in Forest engineering (Polytechnic University of Madrid). Assistant Professor at the Department of Forest and Environmental Engineering and Management of Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. Her main research interests focus on landscape ecology, especially on ecological connectivity models and the effects of the landscape matrix on fauna movement patterns and their implications for species and protected areas management.
