Research group: Environmental Geochemistry and Atmospheric Research (EGAR)
BSc in Statistics (1994), MSc in Statistics (2001) and PhD in Public Health (2004). Tenured Scientist of CSIC since 2009. More than 200 articles in SCI journal, with a broad range of research interests with a common theme of applied statistical and epidemiological methods in environmental health studies. In particular, the application of time-series regression models in public health, also the statistical methods for meta-analysis. His current research interests focus on environmental epidemiology, studying the short-term effects of the main environmental risk factors (air pollution, pollen, noise and temperature) on human health. I am currently collaborating at the European Educational Programme in Epidemiology and teach various short-courses in medical statistics and environmental epidemiology.
FIRE-RES
Innovative technologies and socio-ecological-economic solutions for fire resilient territories in Europe
Extreme wildfire events (EWE) are becoming a major environmental, economic and social threat in Southern Europe and increasingly gaining importance elsewhere in Europe. As the limits of fire suppression-centered strategies become evident, practitioners, researchers and policymakers increasingly recognise the need to develop novel approaches that shift emphasis to the root causes and impacts of EWE, moving towards preventive landscape and community management for greater resilience. FIRE-RES integrates existing research, technology, civil protection, policy and governance spheres related to wildfires to innovate processes, methods and tools to effectively promote the implementation of a more holistic fire management approach and support the transition towards more resilient landscapes and communities to EWE.

LIFE REMY
Reducing Emission Modelling uncertaintY
REMY project, through a detailed quantitative modelling analysis in three EU critical areas (Po Valley -IT, Catalonia - E, Southern Poland - PL), investigates the impact of uncertainty in pollutants emission and air dispersion models that could negatively affect air quality plan, both on the regional and the local scale, leading to the identification of ineffective emission abatement strategies.

WATCHPLANT
Smart biohybrid phyto-organisms for environmental in situ monitoring
Wireless wearable devices can track our every move and monitor our health. This technology can also be used on plants for the benefit of urban policies, the agri-food industry and forestry. The EU-funded WATCHPLANT project will develop a wireless, wearable, self-powered sensor for in-situ monitoring of urban environments. Specifically, this system equips plants with artificial intelligence to create a smart net of sensors for measuring environmental parameters and the responding physiological state of plants at a very early stage, using a barely-explored fluid, phloem sap. The project will explore how to extract sufficient sap volume in a healthy plant and how to make long-lasting bioelectronics to use sap for sensing and energy harvesting purposes.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101017899
