His academic work spans pedagogy, psychology, and business administration disciplines with a focus on entrepreneurship education and social engineering.

Dr. Llorente's educational background includes a PhD in Entrepreneurial Education (2023) from the University of the Balearic Islands, a degree in Psychology from the University of Barcelona, and a degree in Business Administration from Universitat Oberta de Catalunya. His doctoral research examined the psychological and behavioral factors influencing entrepreneurial success.

His research interests focus on social engineering, attitude change, organizational dynamics, and the application of gamification principles to entrepreneurial education. He investigates how personality traits (particularly through the Big Five model) interact with gamification elements (HEXAD model) to influence entrepreneurial behavior and motivation patterns. His work bridges psychological theory with practical applications in business education and organizational development.

Analysis of his publications reveals a consistent trajectory examining the psychological foundations of entrepreneurship, with recent work integrating gamification theory with personality psychology. His research demonstrates how motivational dynamics in workplace settings can be understood through both traditional psychological frameworks and contemporary gamification approaches, particularly in the context of entrepreneurial development and organizational change.
