The “where”, “why”, and the “how”
I work as a Ramon y Cajal reseacher at the MBG-CSIC. My research interests include bioclimatology and spatial data science. I am an enthusiastic R user, with a lot of curiosity for spatial analysis, data visualizations, management and manipulation, and GIS. Keep up with my R tinkering in my blog. Learn more about my research interests in publications.

Climate scientist, curious about all intersections of data and society.
I am a climate scientist and actually, I am Ramon y Cajal researcher at the Misión Biologica de Galicia - The Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), previously I was the head of data science at the Climate Research Foundation (FIC) and researcher at the University of Santiago de Compostela. I am originally from Grevenbroich, near by Cologne, in Germany. I graduated in Geography and Hispanic Philology at the University of Cologne and RWTH-Aachen University in 2010. After I met my wife in Galicia, I came to Santiago de Compostela, in northwest Spain, and made my Ph.D. in 2015 about the relationship between health and climate at the same University.
I am a member of the Public Health Research Group at the University of Santiago de Compostela. In addition, I am a close collaborator of two other research groups, Geobiomet at the University of Cantabria and Climatology Group at the University of Barcelona. Since 2019 I am a member of the MCC Collaborative Research Network, an international research program on the associations between environmental stressors, climate, and health.
I’m particularly interested in biometeorology, among others, the relationship between human health and the atmospheric environment, and on the other hand, applied physical geography with a focus on atmospheric variables and their spatio-temporal behaviors.
