I am an anthropologist specialized in psychological anthropology, ethnopsychiatry, social approaches to mental health, and human biocultural diversity and its applications in medicine. My current project, funded by the Spanish Government until October 2026, is an action-research one focused on the implementation of alternatives to coercion in mental health settings such as the collaborative management of medication between users and professionals, peer-supported open dialogue, and the creation of respite houses, to name a few. My experience includes working as a research assistant at Stanford Law School, the James E. Rogers College of Law of the University of Arizona, and the Institute de Hautes Études Internationales et du Développement, The Graduate Institute Geneva, focusing on social networks analysis and the impact of cognitive and other biases in the decision making process in investor-state and state-state disputes in international arbitration courts. More recently I researched the potential genetic basis of the schizophrenia construct, as well as the effects of the neuritine gene (NRN1) in cortical thickness at FIDMAG Research Foundation, Complejo Asistencial Benito Menni de Hermanas Hospitalarias. I hold an undergraduate degree in anthropology and human evolution, a master of science in biological anthropology and at the moment I am in my sophomore year of a psychology BSc.
