Personal profile
ShortBio
Senior Researcher at TECNALIA, Architect, and Urbanist. I specialize in coordinating international research projects and networks, with a strong focus on scientific coordination of multidisciplinary teams. I lead the RescueME (Horizon Europe) and SHELTER (H2020) projects, overseeing the design, organization, and implementation of fieldwork, database construction, and knowledge co-creation with stakeholders.
My research is dedicated to developing community-based and data-driven approaches, methodologies, and tools to enhance just resilience and sustainability. I focus on the development and regeneration of complex and vulnerable socio-ecological systems with high cultural and natural heritage values. This includes implementing business, governance, and financing models, with a special emphasis on participatory, digital, and nature-based strategies. Additionally, I headed the project that established the sustainability standard for the Galapagos Islands.
