I am an environmental humanities scholar working with ecopoetics. My research focused initially on relations with the atmospheric and the geological dimensions of the Anthropocene in North American ecopoetry. During my postdoc I researched Ibero-American ecopoetic practices of breathing and the vocabularies they create to the environmental humanities. I am now working on interdisciplinary research on meteorology between the sciences and artistic practices. I publish, present and teach internationally. My research includes working as poet and translator.
