I’m a New York-based freelance writer and multimedia journalist. I was born in Barcelona, Spain in 1986. I graduated in Law from University of Barcelona in 2011. Currently, I’m a Master of Science candidate at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism where I covered New York’s public housing. During my year at Columbia, I also wrote about hackers trying to build an alternative Internet and new technologies to avoid censorship online, scientists building a device called the Icepod, loaded with gizmos to scan ice sheets and study the effects of climate change in Antarctica and Greenland; the use of domestic drones in the United States and I’m currently writing about scientists working on a new technology to capture carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere to slow down global warming.
In the past, I’ve written about Wikileaks and the chances that the U.S. Government has to prosecute Julian Assange for two different Italian websites, L’Espresso and Linkiesta.it. I’ve also been a contributor for two blogs affiliated with SBNation: BrightSideOfTheSun, on all things Phoenix Suns and BarcaBlaugranes, that cover my hometown team, F.C. Barcelona.
I’m particularly interested in the intersection between new technologies and civil and human rights, in all its aspects, from privacy and surveillance to Internet Freedom. Being a big human and civil rights geek I’m also into national security and terrorism. I’m passionate about science as well, from climate change and the environment to space exploration.
