About Me

This “personal” website has been changed and rebuilt several times over the past few years. Hopefully, this is the last one?

My name is Jorge, and I am currently a PhD student researching the impacts of human-induced climate change on population health.

I have a health data science background with experience on infectious diseases, maternal health and healthcare management. Most of my work is focused on the analysis and validation of data collection methods for healthcare research, as well as exploiting novel data sources.

Currently at ISGLOBAL (Barcelona, Spain) with the Early-Adapt group and IMTAvH (Lima, Perú) with InnovaLab.
