Bio: 

I have been learning and having fun with Drupal and its community since 2010. I am a social researcher (PhD in Sociology) and computer scientist (MsC and BsC in Computer Science) interested in the intersection between the technical and social aspects of technology. More specifically, my research is focused on the use of free/libre technologies to foster the development and scaling-up of Commons-Based Peer Production communities. I am currently working as a postdoctoral researcher at Universidad Complutense (Madrid, Spain) in the ERC EU project P2PModels (https://p2pmodels.eu/).

I carried out an ethnographic study of the Drupal community as part of my doctoral research, under the supervision of Professor Nigel Gilbert and Dr Paul Hodkinson at the University of Surrey (Guildford, UK). This study concerned individual involvement and group dynamics of Commons-Based Peer Production communities, focussing on the development community for Free/Libre Open Source Software, Drupal, in the context of the FP7 EU project P2Pvalue. You can find further details of my research at:
