I am a postdoctoral researcher and lecturer focusing on comparative literature and climate crisis representation. I currently hold the position of Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at Ghent University.

I have taught and been a fellow at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, the University of Granada, El Colegio de México, and Waseda University.

I am member of the research groups GREGAL-UAB, STAND-UGR, INDOVIG-UOC, and TRAMEVIC-UV; and editor and co-founder of Asiademica: Open Journal of East Asian Studies.

You can read about my current research project called Disaster Distortion: Climate Crisis Representation in Contemporary Transpacific Literature.
