Marc Busuldu Tris

I am an environmental biologist from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona with a Master's Degree in Environmental Regulation from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, currently a PhD student in the Ecophys group with a project entitled "New approaches for the study of interspecific differences in the responses of plant organs and tissues to severe droughts", which will be developed within the framework of the DRASTIC project. My thesis supervisors are Maurizio Mencuccini, Oliver Binks and Teresa Gimeno.

I have worked as a field and laboratory technician in the FORGENIUS project, coordinated at CREAF by Maurizio Mencuccini. This project aims to enhance the quantity and quality of data in the Genetic Conservation Units (GCUs) information system using multiple descriptors from genomics, phenotyping, remote sensing, and predictive models. The goal is to make the data and analytical tools available in harmonized standards for operational use as a service for users in the fields of conservation, breeding, and forest management.

Previously, I worked in the AGENTS project, led by José Alberto Ramírez Valiente, which focused on the role of natural selection and demography on genetic variation and the plasticity of functional traits, specifically in the context of Pinus pinaster adaptation to climate.

Aside from science, I am also a passionate sports fan, especially in tennis. In this regard, I am a referee for the Real Federación Española de Tenis and the Federació Catalana de Tennis.
