I am an Assistant Professor in Political and Administrative Sciences, Department of Public Law, Universidad Pablo de Olavide, de Sevilla. Research Fellow in the Lab Research Group Innovation, Technology and Public Management (IT_GesPub), Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM). Previously, I was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Constitutional Law, Political and Administrative Sciences in Universidad de Valencia, and an Assistant Professor (with tenure) in the Institute of Public Administration, Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs, Leiden University (the Netherlands). I was a Visiting Scholar in Utrecht University (School of Governance), the Netherlands.

I hold a PhD in Law, Government and Public Policy from UAM, with a dissertation that studies how social media affordances impact the administrative transparency of Spanish city councils. I hold a BA in Political Science and Public Administration from UAM, and a MA in Democracy and Government (itinerary in Public Management and Public Policies) from UAM too.

As a lecturer, I have taught a variety of courses and subjects related to political and administrative sciences, both at the undergraduate and master's levels, in different programs (including Political Science, Law, Sociology, and Public Management), and in different languages ​​(English, Spanish, and Catalan). I primarily teach courses related to public management, public policy, organizational theory, and digital government.

My research topics include the study of digital government, open government, algorithmic governance, public sector transparency and public communication. I have published in leading journals such as Government Information Quarterly, International Review of Administrative Sciences, Local Government Studies, First Monday, or Information Polity, among others. I have co-authored book chapters for several international publishers, such as Springer, Edward Elgar and Palgrave Macmillan. I actively review articles for several national and international public administration and digital government related journals.

I have participated in several conferences, including the Annual International Conference on Digital Government Research (dg.o), the Annual Conference of the European Group for Public Administration (EGPA), the International Research Society for Public Management Conference (IRSPM), and the Spanish National Conference on Political Science and Public Administration (AECPA), among others. As a visiting lecturer, I have collaborated in the instruction of workshops and courses for the Spanish Institute of Public Administration, the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (Càtedra GO), the Instituto Universitario de Investigación Ortega y Gasset, the Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED), El Colegio de Jalisco, or the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México (UAEMEX), among others. Moreover, I have been in charge of the thematic area “Innovation and digital transformation” for the 2024 Latinamerican Centre for Development Administration (CLAD) Conference.

I am a member of the Spanish Political Science and Public Administration Association (AECPA), as well as member of the Digital Government Society (DGS), serving as a part of DGS communication committee from 2020 to 2025.

Between May 2014 and May 2019, I was part of the NovaGob team, the largest Spanish-speaking public innovation digital community/social media platform in Spain and Latin America, which was a spin-off of UAM until June 2019. I was coordinator of the NovaGob Excellence Awards between 2016 and 2018. Moreover, I participated in the organization of the second, third and fourth edition of the NovaGob Public Innovation Conference. Finally, I was a Researcher at the NovaGob Lab.

In my spare time, I love tinkering with technology. I truly believe in the importance of free and open source software, and I participate in its development collaborating with GNOME, a desktop environment for GNU/Linux. I love hiking as well as kayaking. I love horror movies (although I confess that I never sleep afterwards) and science fiction. I am also a huge fan of Quentin Tarantino movies. I really like to travel and visit new places. I enjoy good food, especially if it is accompanied by good conversation.
