Associate Professor at the University of Salamanca (Spain). Editor of the Anuario electrónico de estudios en comunicación social “Disertaciones”.

I have taught at the Universidad del Rosario (Colombia), Universidad del Norte (Colombia), Universidad de Los Andes (ULA) (Venezuela), and have been a researcher at URJC and the Universidad Católica Andrés Bello (UCAB) (Venezuela). Additionally, I have been a visiting professor at universities of Spain, Colombia, Brazil and Greece.  I have published more than 80 peer-review papers, 65 of them in Journals included in the Journal Citation Report (JCR) or Scimago Journal & Country Rank (SJR). I have also published 9 books (2 as main author and 7 as editor) y 15 book chapters. I have been principal investigator (PI) of 10 funded projects and collaborator of 6 more. I have recently published the papers “Framing Migration in Southern European Media” (Journalism Practice), and “Hate speech and social acceptance of migrants in Europe:  Analysis of tweets with geolocation” (Comunicar); as well as the book Computational Analysis of Communication.

I am the principal investigator of the European project Evaluando Campañas contra el Odio (funded by the REC programme of the European Commission) and  local PI of Enhanced migration measures from a multidimensional perspective (HumMingBird) (funded by H2020). I participate as a researcher in three other  funded research projects:  The Future of Digital Citizenship in Qatar: a Socio-Technical Approach (Qatar National Research Fund) and What are Opinions? Integrating Theory and Methods for Automatically Analyzing Opinionated Communication (OPINION) (COST). I am also PI for Venezuela for the international projects Worlds of Journalism Study and Journalistic Role Performance, as well as consultant of Media Landscapes for this country.

My research interests are focused on hate speech, ICT adoption, media and social media analysis, computational methods and big data.
