His past research has focused on environmental sociology topics, such as framework analysis in environmental risks; mobility, accessibility and land use interactions; and the production of basic sociological data from surveys as well as qualitative approaches.
Within the BIG-5 team, and from his current position as data scientist at Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC), his focus is the study the role of current digital relationships in shaping attitudes towards nature. From a methodological standpoint, his goal is to scale up the scope of data gathering and processing for this study, leveraging the infinite stream of information in the digital world, while looking for opportunities to test how this approach can interplay with traditional methodologies for data collection.
