I'm a Tenured Senior Scientist (Investigador Científico) at the Spanish Research Council (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, CSIC) and work at the Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Physics and Complex Systems (IFISC), a joint research institute of CSIC and the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB) located in Palma de Mallorca (Spain). My areas of interest include both theory and interdisciplinary applications of Complex Systems and methodological aspects of data analysis (networks, dynamics, time series, machine learning). At IFISC, I lead the Networks & Dynamics group.
