My main interest is the taxonomic diversity and functional morphology of the early metazoans generated during the so-called Cambrian "explosion" (some 540 million years ago), and the phylogenetic relationships among the major animal groups (phyla) that appeared with this unique event in the history of the biosphere. I am also interested on the Edicara Biota (570-550 Ma) and on finding the morphological, ecological and phylogenetic links of these fossils with the Cambrian faunas.

My main interest is the taxonomical diversity and functional morphology of the early metazoans generated during the so-called Cambrian "explosion" (some 540 million years ago), and the phylogenetic relationships among the major animal groups (phyla) that appeared with this unique event in the history of the biosphere.

I got my Graduate Degree in Biology-Zoology (1995) and a Postgraduate Degree in Palaeontology (1997) from the Complutense University in Madrid. My first contact with Burgess Shale-type fossils was in the summer of 1994, when I visited the University of Cambridge, studying soft-bodied (non-mineralized) fossils from the Lower Cambrian Kinzers Formation of Pennsylvania with Prof. Conway Morris and early Cambrian organic-walled microfossils from northwestern Canada with Prof. Butterfield. During the summers of 1995, 1997 and 2000 I excavated at the Burgess Shale (British Columbia) with the Royal Ontario Museum-Toronto, under the direction of Dr. Collins. In parallel with my research on soft-bodied fossils, and due to the scarcity of such type of fossils in Spain, I took a different topic for my PhD Thesis: the Palaeozoic Porifera from the Iberian Peninsula (Madrid, 2002). I did a two-year postdoc at the ROM (2003-2004), working with Dr. Collins on some of the Burgess Shale's most emblematic arthropod fossils (Marrella, Leanchoilia, Isoxys...). Upon my return to Madrid (2005) I headed a research project for the Spanish Research Council (CSIC) to search for Ediacaran, Burgess Shale and Orsten-type fossils in Spain, and study their palaeogeographic implications. My latest work comes from collaborations with the South Australian Museum in excavating and studying the early Cambrian Emu Bay Shale Lagerstätte in Kangaroo Island (South Australia), having joined The University of Adelaide in January 2013 as a Senior Research Fellow. In late 2013 I became an Australian Research Council Future Fellow, with a 4-year research project entitled "Testing our knowledge on the dawn of Animal life: evidence from the fossil record against modern ecological and morphological analogues". It focused on comparing the Ediacara Biota and the Emu Bay Shale and other Cambrian lagerstätten from a palaeocological perspective, and included experiments on Modern marine invertebrate predation to test against what we observe in the fossil record. In the last 5 years I have also been working on the anatomy, functional morphology and behaviour of the Ediacara Biota from the Flinders Ranges, with the goal of finding the links of these strange fossils with the Cambrian faunas. Since January 2018 I have a ongoing position as Associate Professor at the University of Adelaide and as Senior Researcher at the South Australian Museum.

As part of my research on the Ediacara Biota, I have support from Australian Research Council Discovery Project DP220102772 and NASA Exobiology Grant #20-EXO20-0009 (in collaboration with Prof. Droser, from the University of California - Riverside) to work in northern South Australia. My team's research helps underpin the UNESCO Flinders Ranges World Heritage bid, in collaboration with a range of government and NGO partners including the Department of Environment and Water and the Flinders Ranges Ediacara Foundation.
