Born and raised in Mallorca. I am a research scientist and engineer. Currently, I am working on data science and big data analytics at the technological research center Eurecat. As researcher I am studying complex social systems, machine learning and human-computer interaction, particularly the design of fair machine learning systems, the unveiling of inequalities in social systems, the development of participatory platforms and the study of collective behavioural patterns on different topics - cooperation, misinformation or public health -. I am combining my work as researcher with teaching at Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) for the BSc. and MSc. of Data Science as well as performing workshops on citizen science, in the intersection between science, technology, education and the arts.
I hold a Telecommunications Engineering and a MSc on Telecommunications Networks by Universitat Ramon Llull (Barcelona, Spain), where I also worked in research projects focused on acoustics, music technologies and human-computer interfaces. After some years working for companies and as a freelance, developing mobile applications for different sectors, I started a PhD by which I combined the design and development of cultural products for a cultural management company with research at the Department of Computer Science and Mathematics and at the Department of Pedagogy in Universitat Rovira i Virgili (Tarragona, Spain) where I carried out my doctoral dissertation entitled «Human Behavior Experimentation and Participation in Scientific Activities in the Wild» focused on the development of participatory platforms within the framework of citizen science and the study of social behavior, applying machine learning techniques to unveil behavioural patterns in topics like climate change or mental health community.
I was a visiting researcher at the EECS and the Segal Design Institute of Northwestern University (Evanston, Illinois) working on human-centered design in the DTR programme. There, I designed and developed a crowdsourcing platform to study natural patterns. I also visited the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering improving data science techniques applied to social experiments to understand collective behaviours.
I was working at the Department of Condensed Matter Physics of Universitat de Barcelona as a part of the research group OpenSystems, as well as Complexity Lab Barcelona and Institute of Complex Systems of Barcelona University (UBICS), taking part in projects such as STEM4Youth, BiblioLab and others, where my work bridges the fields of complex systems, human-computer interaction, citizen science, computational social science, game theory, data science, data visualization and others.
