I am an archaeologist focusing on Roman and Late Antique Archaeology, especially in the western Mediterranean. My research examines the transformation of landscapes with a particular interest in island systems and rural areas.

I am currently a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of History and Archaeology. I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and Ancient World at Brown University (USA) from to 2016 to 2018 and visiting scholar at the University of Sassari (Italy) (2013).

I have a degree in History from the University of Barcelona (2002), graduate studies in Archaeology (2003), a Master's in Cartographic Production and GIS (2007), and a Ph.D in Archaeology from the same university. My doctoral thesis focuses on the rural population of Mallorca during Late Antiquity. I perfected my training in digital archaeology, as a visiting PhD student in the Archaeological Computing Research Group in the Department of Archaeology, School of Humanities, University of Southampton, UK (2008).

I have participated in numerous excavations and archaeological surveys, among which I co-directed or directed excavations in the building at the Ripoll street of Barcelona, excavations of early Christian set of l'Illa del Rei (Mahon, Menorca) and excavations Roman villa at Sa Mesquida (Calvià, Mallorca). I am also a member of the excavation team of the Roman city of Pollentia (Alcúdia, Mallorca). I have participated in national and international projects, such as Progetto Classe working in the World Heritage site of Ravenna.
