She completed the Master's in Teacher Training with a specialization in Classical Languages (2015) and the Interuniversity Master's in Classical Philology (2016) at the same institution. Her academic background has been further enhanced through courses in paleography, codicology, and textual criticism at the University of Pavia, the Central European University in Budapest, and the SISMEL in Florence.

In 2020, she earned her Ph.D. at the Complutense University of Madrid with the thesis Los Sententiarum libri V de Tajón de Zaragoza: edición crítica, traducción y estudio [The Sententiarum libri V by Tajón of Zaragoza: critical edition, translation, and study], achieving the grade of sobresaliente cum laude.

After obtaining her doctorate, she was hired as a postdoctoral researcher at KU Leuven (Belgium) in the project Magnum opus et arduum: naar een receptiegeschiedenis van Augustinus De civitate Dei [3H170335]. Since 2021, she has been an Assistant Professor at the Department of Classical Philology at the University of Valencia.

She has completed funded research stays abroad at the École Pratique des Hautes Études (Paris) (2018), the University of Milan (2019), and the University of Cambridge (2024).

Her research career focuses on textual criticism, paleography, codicology, and the history of Late Antiquity, Early Medieval, and Patristic Latin texts. Among the authors she has extensively worked on are Augustine of Hippo, Tajón of Zaragoza, and Quiricus of Barcelona. She is the author of the first critical edition of Sententiae by Tajón of Zaragoza, published in the Corpus Christianorum series (Taio Caesaraugustanus. Liber sententiarum, Turnhout: Brepols, 2023, cxcvii + 524 pages, Corpus Christianorum. Series Latina, vol. 116A). The results of her research have been published or are in press in high-impact national and international journals such as Symbolae Osloenses (Oslo), Revue d’Histoire des Textes (Paris), Wiener Studien (Vienna), Revue d'études augustiniennes et patristiques (Paris), Medium Aevum (Oxford), Bulletin du Cange (Paris), Sacris Erudiri (Turnhout), Euphrosyne (Lisbon), Agora (Aveiro), ReLat (Madrid), and Helmantica (Salamanca).

Full Professor of Latin Philology at the University of Valencia. His lines of work are centred on the fields of classical literature and humanism. In the first field, his contributions on the satirical genre are outstanding; in the second, his remarkable works on Juan Luis Vives, Vicente Mariner and Manuel Martí. All in all, he has written more than a hundred works in prestigious journals and publishing houses that make new contributions in the field of the theory of ideas, Renaissance hermeneutics and other philological fields such as Latin metric.

My research career focuses basically on neo-Latin rhetoric and classical rhetoric, on Renaissance humanism and classical tradition. One of my main interests is to highlight the relationships between the instruction received by men of letters, in whose curriculum rhetoric had a prominent place (from Antiquity and practically until the end of the Old Regime), and literary productions written not only in Latin, but in the different languages of Europe. So, I think, it is important to have editions of these normative texts with their corresponding translation and an introductory study, to put in the hands of scholars both Neo-Latin literature and emerging literature and training in different European languages instruments basic for the study and re-evaluation of modern literary culture in general.

These lines of research have also materialized from the beginning in the edition and translation of Latin texts, such as the translation of the scientific texts of Juan Luis Vives included in the following anthology: Grau Codina, F. Obra Científica. Joan Lluís Vives, Antologia de Textos. pp. 420 - 483. (Spain): Servei de Publicacions de la Universitat de València, 1992. ISBN 843701011X.. This was followed by my collaboration in the publication by the Ayuntamiento of Valencia of the complete work of Luis Vives La filosofía primera, and the collaboration with the translation of a text by Vives in A. Viana (ed.), Aspectes del pensament sociolinguístic europeu. pp. 129 - 135. (Spain): Barcanova, 1995. I must also mention my participation in the translation of the Bononia by Fadrique Furio Ceriol in the first volume of his complete work (Furió Ceriol, Obra Completa I. H. Méchoulan - J. Pérez Durà co-directors), Valencia, 1996, in whose edition UNESCO collaborated, of which I was coordinator between the Valencia team and the Paris team.

My attention to the texts editions began with my doctoral thesis "The rhetorics of Pedro Juan Núñez, editions and manuscripts" and culminate with the edition of the Spectacula Lucretiana by Giambattista Cantalicio, poems in honor of the second nuptials of Lucrecia Borgia with Alfonso d'Este, in 2010.

I have participated in several projects, as can be seen below, but the last one as principal investigator of the subproject that has been part of the project coordinated by Dr. Jesús Paniagua of the University of León "SPANISH HUMANISTS: STUDIES AND CRITICAL EDITIONS" dedicated to the editing of the rhetoric of Fadrique Furió Ceriol and Andrés Sempere, has allowed to continue this task of editing and translation that is part of my research career and my projects in the medium and long term. In the framework of this project, I have also participated in the editing and notes of Lorenzo de Zamora. Monarquía mística. I: Introducción, edición y notas, (2022), Peter Lang publishing group.

Finally, my edition of the Institutionum Rhetoricarum libri tres (Lovaina, 1554) of Fadrique Furio Ceriol, with Spanish translation and notes, has appeared materially in 2023 (Fadrique Furio Ceriol, Obra completa II. Institutionum Rhetoricarum libri tres. Los tres libros de las Instituciones retóricas. [Edición y notas de Ferran Grau Codina. Traducción de Concepción Ferragut Domínguez, Ferran Grau Codina, Luis Pomer Monferrer y Josep Lluís Teodoro Peris. Estudios de Ferran Grau Codina. Concepción Ferragut Domínguez y Josep Lluís Teodoro Peris], València: PUV, 2022).
