PhD candidate

I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Telecommunications and Systems Engineering at UAB, researching the social and ecological impacts of the energy transition, with a particular focus on offshore wind energy technologies.

My research is conducted within the framework of the COMPASS project, funded by the Horizon Europe programme. At LIVEN Lab, I work on developing a holistic assessment framework to support the optimization of offshore wind farms. This framework integrates social narratives, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), socio-ecosystem metabolism, and ecosystem services concepts. I work on creating new socio-ecological methods and indicators for multicriteria assessment and contribute to the adaptation of ENBIOS for its application to offshore wind power plant optimization.

Before joining the group, I worked in the wind energy industry and at an NGO dedicated to marine conservation. I hold a BSc in Mechanical Engineering from Drexel University and an MSc in Sustainable Energy Technology from TU Delft. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, swimming, and diving.
