My university background is in economics and business, specifically I did the Degree in International Business Economics (IBE) at the Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona. Later, when I became interested in sustainability, I did the Master in Interdisciplinary Studies in Environmental, Economic and Social Sustainability at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), which is taught jointly with ICTA.

My research is related to electric and shared micromobility. One of the objectives is to identify the social and psychological factors that determine their usage and adoption, as well as other determinants (individual and contextual), that make them attractive and, by contrary, act as barriers. Another main objective is to analyse the impact that these modes have for health and physical activity.
