With a background in Computer Engineering, his love for OpenStreetMap led him to study Cartography for his master’s, where he met people from all over the world. After several years moving around different countries, he currently resides in Italy, where he is a PhD student at the University of Camerino.
His research is part of the “[https://odeco-research.eu/ ODECO]” project, where his primary research focuses on the role of commercial companies in Open Data, especially around OSM. He also contributes to other research lines in collaboration with different researchers from the project, including the study of interactions in Open Data interfaces like the HOT Tasking Manager. Within the project, he is doing research stays in different organizations: University of Zaragoza (May-July 2024), Regione Marche (Nov-Dec 2024), and TomTom (May-July 2025).
Héctor is passionate about transportation, particularly regarding transportation networks and urban mobility, and enjoys traveling to discover the history, culture, and food of new places.
