Miguel Ruiz Fernandez
Technical Specialist

My role focuses on designing, building, and maintaining experimental systems, as well as supporting fieldwork activities. I also hold an expert certification in drone operation, a rapidly developing tool that I apply to the study of cliffs, enabling advanced field monitoring and the rapid acquisition of unique features of the studied systems. I particularly enjoy the practical aspects of research — constructing, adjusting, and ensuring the functionality of experimental setups, while also contributing to data collection and field observations.
I am currently studying Environmental Sciences at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, which provides me with a broad understanding of natural systems and their conservation. Alongside my academic background, I bring hands-on experience in vertical work, carpentry, and construction, as well as a strong personal interest in climbing, speleology, and other outdoor activities — all of which have proven highly valuable for field-based ecological research in rugged environments.
