I approach cities as complex socio-ecological systems. My research integrates concepts and state-of-the-art methods from urban ecology, geoinformatics and digital humanities to generate evidence-based knowledge to contribute to making more livable cities. I focus on the spatiotemporal characterization of the physical and social urban dimensions, aiming to unveil complex interconnections and counterintuitive relationships between humans and their main habitat: Cities. My goal is to represent the inherent complexity of urban ecosystems to detect global regularities, as well as the fundamental differences between cities, aiming to find the underlying properties driving their evolution. Cities are as much of a challenge as an opportunity towards sustainability.
