Doctor by the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela with the thesis La participación de las regiones en el sistema político de la Unión Europea 2008. Supervised by Dr. Ramón Máiz Suárez.

I hold a PhD in Political Science and Public Administration (Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, USC), and a master’s degree in European Political and Administrative Studies from the College of Europe in Bruges. I have completed my methodological and substantive training at various academic institutions, such as the WZB Berlin Social Science Center, and the Center for the Study of Europe at Boston University. My current professional activities are focused on innovative research into the quality of public administration and governance, and transparency/accountability issues.
