Daniel is particularly interested in open source communities and projects, although he also studies crowdsourcing, gig workers, and sharing platforms. Open source (and online communities in a broader sense) is a great space to study major current topics that intersect the social and societal with technology. For example, open source is often seen as a condition to the development of civic technologies. This effectively ties society’s political sustainability (in a context of democratic disenchantment) and the sustainability of software production.
Daniel holds an MEng from University College London, an MSc and a PhD from the London School of Economics and Political Science. Previous to being a post-doctoral fellow at the Swedish Center for Digital Innovation, he was a Marie Curie fellow at the Spanish National Research Council.
