I am currently a Doctoral Researcher at the Department of Digital and Computational Demography, Laboratory of Migration and Mobility at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) in Rostock and at Sociodemography Research Group at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) in Barcelona.
-
I analyse spatial digital trace data to study human mobility patterns and the implications for disease dynamics and inequalities.

I worked on many R packages:
- developed
{rJavaEnv}package to manage Java environment for Java-dependent R packages
-
co-developed
{spanishoddata}(collaboration with Robin Lovelace) for accessing Spanish origin-destination matrices based on aggregated mobile phone based human mobility data -
developed
{mapineqr}for accessing the the inequality indicators using Mapineq.org API -
developed
{wikimapR}for getting data using Wikimapia API -
enhanced
rangfor reproducible research, and made contributions tolayer,geofacet,esri2sfand more R packages and other open source software.

-
I used to teach reproducible data analysis in R and computational spatial morphology to urban researchers and planners.
Research interests
-
Intra-urban and inter-regional mobility, commuting and migration; determinants, external effects and spillover effects
-
Implications of human mobility for disease dynamics and inequalities
