• PhD in Sociology (Complutense University of Madrid, 2019)
• Accreditation by Spanish National Agency for Evaluation of Academic and Research Activity (ANE)

His research focuses on urban vulnerability, residential emancipation, and socioeconomic risk structures, particularly analyzing how financial crises (2008, 2020) and housing policies affect youth independence trajectories. Methodologically combining quantitative census analysis with qualitative focus groups, he investigates spatial segregation patterns and asymmetric vulnerability distributions across Madrid neighborhoods.

Notable scientific contributions include the 2019 award-winning thesis on relational vulnerability perception (Madrid City Council Urban Economics Research Awards) and developing composite indicators for educational inequality (2001-2011) and residential opportunity mapping. Recent publications (2021-2025) analyze chronic labor vulnerability, housing policy impacts, and methodological frameworks for urban regeneration evaluation.

Collaborative work with researchers like Antonio Echaves García and Margarita Barañano Cid demonstrates his engagement with broader academic networks in urban sociology and social policy analysis.
