Apart from my thesis on the study of the Romanisation process in Andalusia (Spain) through the spatial analysis of territorial changes, I am also collaborating in different research projects at the University of Southampton (Portus Project; http://www.portusproject.org/), the University of Central Lancashire, Preston (The Mauritian Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Project: exploring the impact of colonialism and colonisation in the Indian Ocean,http://antiquity.ac.uk/projgall/seetah330/), the Pablo de Olavide University, Seville (Las Villas Romanas de la Bética, i.e. The Roman Villas of Baetica) and the University of Seville (ARCA database) (https://www.institucional.us.es/arca). I am also part of the Territorial Structures and Systems Research Group (GIEST in its Spanish acronym) (http://grupo.us.es/giest/). I am a mix of field archaeologist and historian who has fallen in love with computing: I studied History (specialisations of Prehistory, Ancient History and Archaeology) at the University of Seville, and after working in the city of Seville as a professional archaeologist, I won a PhD scholarship at the Pablo de Olavide University (Seville, Spain) in 2008. This scholarship is allowing me to analyse the process of Romanisation of the Roman province of Baetica (southern Spain) through the analysis of the territorial transformations occurred in this region from the Second Iron Age (V century BC) to the end of the Early Roman Empire (II century AD). As part of my education within the context of my PhD, I studied the master Archaeological Computing (Spatial Technologies in Archaeology) between 2008 and 2009 at the University of Southampton. This has provided me with the tools required (firstly) to observe how territories change through time and (secondly) to understand how these changes relate to the transformations of past societies. Apart from my thesis, and to keep me successfully away from boredom, I am also collaborating in different research projects at the University of Southampton (Portus Project; http://www.portusproject.org/), the University of Central Lancashire, Preston (The Mauritian Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Project: exploring the impact of colonialism and colonisation in the Indian Ocean, http://antiquity.ac.uk/projgall/seetah330/), and the University of Seville (ARCA database) (www.institucional.us.es/arca).
