My research development benefited greatly from a 2,5 years postdoctoral positions at Maynooth University of Ireland, working with a leading scholar in the field of urban technologies, prof. Rob Kitchin. During this period, my expertise around the ‘smart city’ found scope in various publications co-authored with the P.I. of the project and in a book collection, which I curated. Subsequently, I wrote my first monograph Citizens in the ‘Smart City’: Participation, Co-production, Governance. Routledge (2021), which I completed during the first six months of my current postdoctoral post at IN3 (Beatriu de Pinos 2018). At UOC, I continue to research the ‘smart city’ through a renewed interest in urban technologies, Internet connectivity and data infrastructure, and urban governance, in a very supportive and competent research environment immersed in the stimulating urban settings of Barcelona.
