I started my career as a researcher in forest ecophysiology in 2009, obtaining my doctor degree in 2012 at the University of Zaragoza (ESP). During this period, I worked in CITA de Aragón (ESP) and in Oregon State University (USA). Other work centers to highlight included the post-doctoral research in the University of Concepción (CHL) and in the Arctowski Polish Antarctic Station (ATA). I have been involved in 17 projects/contracts such as SUM2008-00004-C03-03, AGL2010-21153-C02-02, GA-LC-002/2012; IPT-2012-1022-310000, RTA2015-00054-C02-01; INACH RT_13_16. Generally, these projects were related to forest decline, tree (including Quercus) mechanisms and adaptations to Mediterranean climatic conditions, plant response to global change or to new non-invasive technologies to measure plant water status. Within these projects/contracts, I was the main researcher of 4 of them. Two were contracts with Gobierno de Aragón titled “Estudio de los factores que explican el decaimiento forestal en Aragón” and “Conocimiento y Diagnóstico del Estado de Conservación de las Masas Forestales de Quercíneas de Aragón”. Here we are studying the main factors related to forest decline in Aragón. The third one was a project called “El potencial uso de los bosques de Teruel como balnearios forestales: nuevo producto turístico terapéutico internacional”. This Project was related to new social activities in order to increment the value of forest in rural areas. I have been able to publish 40 scientific articles (30 Q1, Web of Science, WOS). Within my last 5-years (2014-2018), I would want to highlight five publications: 1/ Sancho-Knapik et al. 2017 Ann For Sci (2017) 74 (1):24. 2/ Peguero-Pina et al. (2017) J Exp Bot 68: 1389-1392. 3/ Sancho-Knapik D, et al. (2016) Front Plant Sci 7:1601. 4/ Sancho-Knapik D et al. (2013) Tree Physiol 33, 695–700. 5/ Fernández V, Sancho-Knapik D, et al. (2014) Plant Physiol 166, 168-180. Other Scientific Journals where I have published my studies include Plant Cell and Environment, Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, Physiologia Plantarum, Applied Physics Letters or New Phytologist. Main collaborations with other institutions within my publications include CSIC (ESP), University of the Balearic Islands (ESP), Polytechnic University of Madrid (ESP), INRA (FRA), The Estonian University of Life Sciences (EST), The State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart (DEU) or the University of Concepción (CHL).  Up to October-2019 and according to WOS, my H-index is 14, I have been cited 514 times since 2009 (13.5 citations per publication) and considering only the last 5 years, I have 74.2 citations per year. As a direct technology result, I will mention an invention patent titled “Device for measuring the water content of laminar elements” (number P201030895). I would also like to highlight a co-edition of the Springer book “Oaks Physiological Ecology. Exploring the Functional Diversity of Genus Quercus” (ISBN 978-3-319-69098-8). In this book, I also participate as a coauthor of 4 chapters:  Oaks and People: A Long Journey Together (chapter 1); Oaks Under Mediterranean-Type Climates: Functional Response to Summer Aridity (chapter 5); The Role of Mesophyll Conductance in Oak Photosynthesis: Among- and Within-Species Variability (chapter 9); and Drought-Induced Oak Decline-Factors Involved, Physiological Dysfunctions, and Potential Attenuation by Forestry Practices (chapter 13).
