He is specialist in anthracology/charcoal analysis and ethnoarchaeology. His Master thesis (University of Barcelona 2008) focused on forest resources management among the fang of Equatorial Guinea from an ethnobotanical and ethnoarchaeological perspective, and his PhD addressed these topics in prehistoric Balearic Islands through charcoal analysis (University of Barcelona 2012).
