Sergio López Padilla

I graduated in Biology from the University of Murcia (UMU) and later completed a master’s degree in Computational Biology at the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM). Both thesis projects allowed me to engage in research, focusing on biogeography during my undergraduate studies and climatology during my master’s, through a collaboration with the Complutense University of Madrid and CIEMAT.

After that, I worked for two years as a Research Technician under the Investigo program at the Institute for Game and Wildlife Research (IREC-CSIC) in Ciudad Real. My work there involved data harmonization, image and sound classification using artificial intelligence, and developing web applications to facilitate data collection and visualization for the ENETWILD project.

In May 2024, I joined the Ecosphere-Lab, where I began my PhD in Earth Sciences in the Department of Civil Engineering. My research focuses on using modeling tools to estimate historical greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Mediterranean reservoirs, supported by an FPI fellowship from the ANTICIPA project.
