Martínez-García obtained his PhD in statistical Physics and Complex Systems at the Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Physics and Complex Systems, a joint research center of the Spanish National Research Council and the University of the Balearic Islands (Spain). His thesis combined approaches from physics and computer sciences to investigate different ecological problems, such as animal movement and the emergence of regular vegetation patterns in drylands. He then received a Life Science Research Foundation fellowship to complete a postdoc in ecology and evolutionary biology at Princeton University (USA), where he investigated the interplay between the ecology, evolution and self-organized multicellularity of microbial communities. Before joining CASUS, Martínez-García worked at the ICTP-SAIFR based at the Institute for Theoretical Physics of São Paulo State University. There he was a São Paulo Research Foundation Young Investigator and an Assistant Professor in the field of biological physics.
