Since then, my research activities focused on the understanding on metal uptake and ecotoxicity of metal mixtures in freshwater ecosystems, and the use of metal bioaccumulation in macroinvertebrates as an ecological monitoring tool. Thus, my master thesis, doctorate and postdoctoral career where developed in this research line, namely ecotoxicology, within the Animal Ecotoxicity and Biodiversity research group, coordinated by Prof. Pilar Rodriguez and Dr. Maite Martinez. Simultaneously with my research career, I wanted to expand my knowledge and skills in regards to sustainability and ecology, and I completed a postgraduate course in \u201cEnvironment and Sustainability\u201d at the UPV\/EHU. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Since 2018, I am involved in the project of \u201cEcosystem Services of Euskadi\u201d coordinated by the Prof. Miren Onaindia at the \u201cUNESCO Chair in Sustainable Development and Environmental Education\u201d (UPV\/EHU), from the Plant Biology and Ecology Dept. I am currently the responsible of the research line of water ecosystem services, with an applied focus for management purposes under the Water Framework Directive.
