Since 2008 I am working as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Psychology and Education of the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya. I hold a BA in Sociology and an MPhil in Sociology from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, and an MSc in Public and Social Policy from the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in collaboration with the Johns Hopkins University. I also have a PhD in Sociology from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.
My research interests lie in the conceptualisation and assessment of quality in mixed methods research and in the use of QDA software in Social Sciences. Additionally, I am collaborating from a methodological standpoint in a variety of research projects looking at gender and ICT, ICT use in schools, and cohousing for older people. Currently I am an associate editor of the Journal of Mixed Methods Research.
