D. in Biology with a specialization in Limnology at Uppsala University (2015-2020), where he studied the functioning of aquatic food webs and bioaccumulation of essential biomolecules in response to environmental changes. Following his thesis (2020-2024), he joined the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU, Sweden), where he studied biodiversity and freshwater food web patterns in response to rapid Arctic warming. In parallel, he has collaborated in multiple globally relevant projects of the Global Lake Observatory Network (ZooSize), the European Biodiversity Partnership (Europonds), the European Federation of Freshwater Sciences (Arctic Biodiver), etc., on topics such as global change, organism size, food web ecology, fish ecology, nutritional ecology and evolution, aquatic-terrestrial ecosystem interactions and ecosystem services.
Fernando joined IMDEA Agua in 2025 as a postdoc in the CyaNoServices project, where he studies the effects of toxic cyanobacteria on aquatic and terrestrial insects and derived ecosystem services in three bio-climatic zones. CyaNoServices project funded by MICIU/AEI /10.13039/501100011033 and co-financed by the European Union.
