Personal information
Biography
I am a senior biostatistician, data analyst and R developer with training in physics (5-year degree) and statistics (3-year degree and 2-year master degree). I am currently working at Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) (former CREAL - Centre for Research in Environmental Epidemiology), where I have been accumulating experience in statistics applied to epidemiology since 2009. I collaborate in several research programs (mainly cancer, respiratory diseases, children health, air pollution, radiation and statistical methodology). I perform statistical data analyses under different study designs such as cohorts, case-control, cross-sectional, randomized experiments or exposure-outcome time series, as well as simulation studies. At a methodological level, I have been working in some problems such as, for example, the integration of multiple imputation technique in cluster analysis, the interpretation of and software implementation for regression models with transformed variables, the assessment of interactions in the exposome-health association, or the design of observational longitudinal studies. I also provide statistical supervisision to other statisticians, technicians, and Ph.D. and M.Sc. students. I have co-authored more than 30 papers in international journals. I have also created a number of R packages and a web-app in R-shiny.
I am also interested in teaching. I am Associate Lecturer at the Department of Mathematics at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona where I am responsible for the implementation and teaching of two subjects on applications of statistics in the health sciences, in the degree of Applied Statistics, where I also have supervised a number of bachelor and master degree theses. I also teach the subject Statistics III in M.Sc. in Public Health at Universitat Pompeu Fabra.
Previously, I was working for 14 years as mathematics teacher in high school, after having obtained a civil servant position for the Spanish Administration. I am in leave position from 2009.
