__Research interests:__ \\
\\
I am interested in understanding the evolutionary patterns, processes and mechanisms associated to the generation of biodiversity. Thus, I infer statistically robust phylogenetic frameworks that allow me reconstructing the evolution of morphological and behavioral traits, as well as understanding the historical generation of current biogeographical patterns. I am currently focused on gastropod systematics and analyze complete mitochondrial genome sequence data as well as nuclear markers derived from NGS. I have also active research in the molecular evolution of gene families and the causes behind incorrect phylogenetic inferences.\\
