Cristina Pérez-Sánchez
I am a predoctoral researcher at the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA) at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). My work combines GIS, quantitative analysis, and participatory qualitative research to understand transformations of energy systems in rural areas, ranging from energy communities to large-scale renewable energy projects. Before embarking in the Ph.D.
I was a technician at LIVEN, managing the participatory processes of research projects focused on the socio-environmental impacts of energy transitions strategies. My training includes a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Sciences and a Master’s degree in Interdisciplinary Sustainability Studies.
I am actively involved in social movements, where I use the knowledge I gain through my research to advocate for more sustainable, just and democratic energy systems. I’m passionate about teaching and love hiking and plants.
