BSc in Statistics (1994), MSc in Statistics (2001) and PhD in Public Health (2004). Tenured Scientist of CSIC since 2009. My research activity focuses on environmental epidemiology, studying the health effects of environmental risk exposures: air pollution, desert dust, and non-optimal temperatures. I am currently involved in several international collaborations investigating the health effects of environmental stressors and climate change. I have a strong interest in applied statistical and epidemiological methods in environmental health studies. In particular, the application of time-series regression in public health and statistical methods for meta-analysis. I am a faculty at the European Educational Programme in Epidemiology, and I teach various postgraduate courses in medical statistics and epidemiology in European and Asian universities.
