He is a collaborator in the Chair Emerging Technologies for Citizenship (2018-2020) at the University of Malaga. Since 2019, he has been a member of the research group HUM-969 Urbanism, Tourism, Landscape and Architectural Innovation, and the University Institute for Habitat, Territory and Digitalisation, both in the University of Malaga. His research interests focus on the tourism gentrification phenomenon in the main port destinations through the spatial analysis of the intensity of tourist use and the different citizen initiatives involved in the conflict of interests. The social perspective is present in the different lines of research through citizen participation: urban tourism, intangible cultural heritage, urban safety and social mobilisation for the preservation of the coastal landscape.
