I am known for pioneering work in human-computer interaction, ubiquitous computing, and computational social science. My research focuses on using data-driven methods—especially from mobile phones and sensors—to understand and model human behavior at scale. I led Telefónica R&D's innovation efforts and founded the Vodafone Institute's data-for-good initiatives. A key contribution is demonstrating how anonymized mobile network data can inform public policy, such as during pandemics or urban planning, while rigorously protecting privacy. I also advocate for ethical AI and human-centered design, ensuring technology serves societal needs without compromising individual rights.
