About
Activist, researcher & teacher, Faculty Associate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society (Harvard University) and Associate Professor at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Spain). Focused on decentralized collaboration, I was awarded with EU’s largest individual research grant, a 1.5M€ ERC grant to build blockchain-based, democratic and economically sustainable organizations for the collaborative economy ("P2P Models" project - http://p2pmodels.eu ). With an interdisciplinary background in both Computer and Social Sciences, my research focuses on decentralized collaboration, using decentralized tech (e.g. blockchain) to facilitate online collaboration and the commons paradigm
