I specialise in geospatial workflows to assess diverse aspects of environmental monitoring, spatial planning, biodiversity, and ecosystem services. My favourite scale is the city, and particularly the urban fringe, where the entanglement of environmental and social processes becomes especially exciting.

Previously, as a Geospatial Data Scientist at Aston University, I integrated satellite imagery, telemetry data, and citizen science datasets. I developed scalable and flexible tools to assess biodiversity indices for Spain and the UK as part of the All Data 4 Green Deal Data Space project (https://ad4gd.eu/). This Horizon initiative brings together European partners to facilitate spatial data harmonisation and exchange, following Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR) standards. One of the tools, Data4Land, enhances land use datasets for spatial planning and nature conservation (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.softx.2025.102226).

Before my experience in the UK, my PhD research focused on spatial variations in ecosystem services within urban green spaces. This involved on-site surveys, remote sensing analysis, statistical modelling, and public questionnaires. To optimise urban planning, a model of adverse environmental transformations in urban areas, including an atlas of protected areas, was developed (https://publications.aston.ac.uk/id/eprint/47565/1/How_Protected_Areas_are_Transforming_Within_Megapolis.pdf).

This academic background and experience working alongside architects, engineers, designers, ecologists and developers will contribute to accountable research software engineering in IMAGO.
