Graduated in History (2011), he also has a master´s degree in Contemporary History (2012) and another one in High School Education following the speciality of Social Sciences and Humanities (2013), all obtained in the aforesaid institution. He studies rural, agrarian, social and economic history of 18th-20th centuries in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula, especially from the perspective of the local farmer communities and their inner dynamics. These lines of investigation put their focus on various aspects such as socioeconomic changes of rural societies (innovation systems and plant breeding), state of agriculture and farmer activities (farming systems and biodiversity), and social conflict against tax system (concealment and resistances) on this period. Currently, he is part of the project "ReSEED - Rescuing seed's heritage: engaging in a new framework of agriculture and innovation since the 18th century", funded by the European Reasearch Council, and integrated member of the Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies - CEIS20.
