Biography

Mar Ferrer Suay has a degree in Biology from the University of Valencia (2004-2009). She obtained a PhD in Biodiversity from the University of Barcelona with International Mention (2010-2014). She has completed three Master's degrees: in Biodiversity: conservation and evolution (2009-2010, UV), in Pest Control and Management (2015, UV) and in Secondary Education Teaching (2018-2019, UV). She was a postdoctoral researcher at the “American Museum of Natural History” (2016, New York, USA) and Juan de la Cierva-Formación at the University of Valencia (2016-2018).

She is specialist of the Charipinae subfamily, small wasps that act as hyperparasitoids of aphids and cause serious problems in biological control programs. She has completed eight predoctoral stays. She has described more than 50 species new to science and established a multitude of trophic relationships. She currently has a recognized six-year period of research and is PI of a Project of the Generalitat Valenciana focused on the use of molecular markers to define the limits between species and resolve the phylogeny of the group.

She teaches in the Biology Degree and in the Master of Biodiversity: Conservation and Evolution, of which she is also a member of the Academic Commission. She is also co-director of the Master's Degree in Pest Control and Management. She participates in activities such as BioGrau, External Practices, Biology Olympiads, Motivem and Projecte Natura.
