Full profile:
I graduated from the Complutense University of Madrid with a major in Slavic Studies. After various stays in Germany, France, Poland, and Finland, I became interested in the linguistic diversity of China and Northeastern Eurasia. Back then, I decided to focus on Chinese, the Tungusic and Eskaleut languages, Ainu, and Japanese. I earned my PhD in Linguistics from the University of the Basque Country in 2012 with a dissertation on Ainu historical linguistics (my M.A. in Linguistics revolved around the origin of certain verb formations in the Tungusic languages; I wrote a second M.A., this time in Religious Studies, on the religious vocabulary of Aleut and the translatological issues involved in the evangelization of an eminently shamanic society).
