Presentation
Graduated in Humanities (2010) and Sociology (2011) and Master in Prehistoric Archeology (2011) by the Autonomous University of Barcelona. He has been a member of the ERAAUB since January 2012 and has been part of the projects Social and environmental transitions: Simulating the past to understand human behavior (SimulPast) and Characterization and modeling of technological processes in the manufacture of ceramics of ancient societies of Central Asia. From Hellenism to Islam (CAMOTECCER).
He is a doctoral student with a scholarship (FPI) in the Societat i Cultura program (Archeology specialty) by the University of Barcelona, under the tutelage and supervision of Josep M. Gurt i Esparraguera i Verònica Martínez (ERAAUB members). The development of his thesis involves the use of formal models, computational simulation, and statistical analysis to assist in the synthesis, analysis, and interpretation of archaeological evidence. Interested mainly in the construction of social theory applied to the past, he has focused on case studies ranging from the Neolithic to the present, limited to the arid and semi-arid regions of Afro-Eurasia. Despite this diversity of sources, the space-time epicenter of his work has been protohistoric periods and antiquity in Central Asia.
