I am a Temporary Associate Professor of Labour and Social Security Law at Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) and Tutor in the Màster de la Barcelona School of Management.

I previously taught at the Carlos III University of Madrid and was Tutor at the National University of Distance Education (UNED) in Barcelona and Consultant for the Open University of Catalonia (UOC). I have taught courses in postgraduate and undergraduate degree programmes on various subjects related to this discipline: individual and collective labour law, social security, labour procedural law and European and comparative labour law. The Catalan University Quality Assurance Agency (AQU Catalunya) has awarded me two merits (tramos de docencia) in teaching for this activity.

Since 2013, I have been the Academic Director of the Bachelor’s Degree Programme in Labour Relations and previously held the positions of Academic Secretary of the Labour Relations School and Academic Coordinator of the Bachelor’s Degree Programme in Labour Relations. I obtained a merit (tramo de gestión) for this management activity in 2018.

I am a researcher in the Research Group in Labour and Social Security Law (greDTiSS), which is affiliated to the Labour Law Research Network (LLRN). The LLRN organised its Inaugural Conference in Barcelona in 2013.

I have participated in several national and international competitive research projects. My scientific output includes a book, various articles in scientific journals, contributions to collective books and also national and international congresses, workshops and seminars. I was a visiting researcher at the Istituto di Studi del Lavoro (University of Milan), Instituto de Derecho Humanos ‘Bartolomé de las Casas’ (Carlos III University of Madrid) and Centro di Studi di Diritto del Lavoro Europeo ‘Massimo d’Antona’ (University of Catania). I obtained various individual and collective research awards and AQU Catalunya awarded me a merit in research (tramo de investigación) for this activity.

My main line of research focuses on the impact of digital technologies on workers’ rights and how regulations can and must guarantee its efficacy. I studied how ICTs could affect workers’ fundamental rights and how to limit these effects in my Ph.D. dissertation (2009) by using a case study of email and a multidisciplinary methodology that considered Alchourrón and Bulygin’s normative systems theory, as well as the Alexy’s theory of fundamental rights. I am currently interested in analysing how algorithms operate within digital platforms, their possible outcomes in infringing workers and citizens’ rights and the introduction of regulations to avoid these consequences. In addition, I am also interested in public pension reforms in Spain within the framework of European economic governance and from a perspective of social sustainability, with the aim of recovering an adequate pension.

I will share with you some of various academic activities in which I participate on this website. Welcome!
