I am a computational social scientist in the Political Science and Law Department at Universitat de Barcelona (Ramón y Cajal research fellow 2023-2027). My research covers topics related to protest politics and interest groups. I use computational linguistics, network analysis, and experimental and survey data to address core questions on representation, inequalities, and influence processes in Europe and Latin America.

My research project on rhetorical influence, political organisations and policy processes uses data from social media and parliamentary records in a comparative perspective.
