Bio
I am a GIScience researcher specializing in geospatial technologies, spatial analysis and visualization, and reproducibility practices in GIScience. I was a Ramón y Cajal postdoctoral fellow (2015–2020), a postdoctoral researcher in the then‑called Digital Earth and Reference Data Unit of the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre in Italy, Italy (2011–2014), and both a predoctoral and postdoctoral researcher at the Universitat Jaume I of Castellón (2003-2010), where I earned my Ph.D. (2006). I was appointed Associate Professor at UJI in 2021.
I am a member of the AGILE Council (2018-), an active team meber of the Reproducible AGILE initiative (2017-), a member of the ACM (2014-), and a member of Geospatial Technologies research group at UJI. I have been co-coordinating the group since November 2022. At GEOTEC, we leverage computing and geospatial technologies to address everyday problems from a multidisciplinary perspective, applying diverse theoretical approaches and practical methods to social and environmental issues such as mobility, transport, aging population, environmental health, and education.

Key research interests
GIScience: geospatial data science, geosptial data management, GeoAI, spatial analysis & visualisation, geospatial data fusion.
Urban computing: the use of computing and geospatial technologies to address urban problems, such as mobility, transport, aging population, environmental health, and education.
Open science and reproducibility practices in GIScience: Reuse, reproducibility, replicability, transparency, openness, integrity, ethics – all in the context of computational research on geospatial data.
Teaching
I am a lecturer on spatial data science and thesis supervisor for the Master of Science in Geospatial Technologies at UJI, and lecturer in software design for the Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering at UJI.
From time to time I give talks and lectures on reproducibility research practices - you can read more about this here.
