I am an Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Barcelona and a Research Associate at Institut Barcelona d'Estudis Internacionals and Institute of Political Economy and Governance. I hold an ICREA Academia research intensification award.
My current research agenda centers on the economic and political impact of artificial intelligence. I am also interested in public policies, government regulations, international governance, and the public's views about AI-related issues. I'm a member of the network AI for PolSci Research. I have a long-standing interest in the political representation of marginalised groups. My book "Unequal Participation Worldwide" (Cambridge University Press) analyzed inequalities in voter turnout from a comparative perspective and argued that turnout gaps can be reduced through institutional reforms. A follow-up project examined if the interests of citizens are better represented by politicians of similar socio-economic backgrounds with detailed data about Spanish municipalities. Before coming to the University of Barcelona, I was an Associate Professor at the Institut Barcelona d'Estudis Internacionals, and a post-doctoral researcher at the Spanish High Research Council and at Stanford University. I hold a PhD in Political Science from the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona and have been the recipient of a Marie Curie Career Integration Grant. I was a Ramon y Cajal Researcher. |
