I obtained my "Llicenciatura" (BA) in Biology in 1994 and in Philosophy - with Honors Prize - in 2006, both at the Universitat de Barcelona (UB). In September 2007, I obtained a master degree in Cognitive Science and Language (UB); and in June 2015 a master degree in Philosophy for Children (UdG) 

I am currently following the Cognitive Science and Language PhD program, working on my PhD dissertation under the supervision of Manuel Pérez Otero. 

My main areas of interest are Philosophy of  Biology, Philosophy of Science, Epistemology and the promotion of critical thinking skills in children.

My main interests at the moment concern the use of teleological language in the life sciences, the notion of biological function and the conceptual difficulties for the acceptance, understanding and comprehension of evolutionary biology.
