Welcome to my website !

I am Associate Professor at the Department of Econometrics, Statistics and Applied Economics of the University of Barcelona and member of the Regional Quantitative Analysis Research Group (AQR-IREA). Before I worked as research scientist (Investigador Científico) at the Spanish CSIC, affiliated to the Instituto de Políticas y Bienes Públicos (IPP), and as tenured scientist (Chargé de Recherche) at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), attached to the Bordeaux School of Economics, where I am still affiliated.

My research interests cover economic geography, innovation economics, migration, and intellectual property, and more recently, the diffusion/adoption of green technologies and products

I am external research fellow at the Centre for Research and Analysis of Migration (CReAM) - UCL, Fellow of the Institute Convergence Migrations and member of Migration, Business & Society.

Recently I run the TKC project on the topic of migration & innovation, and coodinated the Workshop Series on migration, innovation, and the knowledge economy. I currently participate in the DOC-TRACK project, on STEM doctoral graduates'  patenting and publishing in four European countries.

I've been consultant on economic geography, migration & innovation, and gender & innovation for the European Patent Office, the USPTO, and the World Intellectual Property Organization.
