I am an Associate Professor (Profesor Titular) in the Department of Economics at the University of Oviedo and a member of the REGIOlab research group. My work focuses on Economic Modelling, Regional Economics, Income Inequality, and Multisectoral Analysis, with experience in Input–Output frameworks, Social Accounting Matrices, and Computable General Equilibrium models.
Before joining Oviedo, I was a Research Fellow in Economic Modelling at City‑REDI, University of Birmingham (UK), where I contributed to the development of the SEIM‑UK multiregional impact model. I completed my PhD in Economics (Cum Laude, International Mention) at the University of Santiago de Compostela, receiving the PhD Dissertation Award in Economics and Business.
My academic career includes research fellowships and visiting scholar positions in the United States (REAL, University of Illinois), the Netherlands (University of Groningen), and Italy (Università degli Studi di Salerno). My recent work examines interregional disparities, the spatial distribution of income, and methodological advances in multisectoral macroeconomic modelling.
