Working at the intersection of Responsible AI, society and business.
About me
I am an interdisciplinary researcher focused on Responsible Innovation, sustainability, and socio-technical systems. My work connects technology, ethics, governance, and social impact, with experience across Europe, Latin America, and international research environments.
With a background in systems engineering and responsible innovation studies, I work at the intersection of AI, sustainability transitions, digital governance, and inclusive innovation. My research explores how emerging technologies can contribute to more equitable, sustainable, and socially grounded futures.
Currently, my focus is on exploring responsible artificial intelligence and helping define what kind of humanity we want to preserve within intelligent systems. I am particularly interested in advancing ethical, inclusive, and socially responsible approaches to AI and innovation.
