About Jordi

I am a PhD in Telematics Engineering with more than 6 years of experience leading R&D and innovation projects across Europe. My current fields of expertise include Data Spaces, Data Governance, Blockchain, Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs), and Digital Product Passports (DPP). Also working on some AI and LLMs projects right now.

I have participated in 30+ scientific publications and contributed to 45+ European, national, and regional research projects, including technical coordination of one EU project (€13M, 26 partners) and 16 regional projects.

As a freelance evaluator, I assess technological novelty, research content, and project eligibility for R&D tax incentives, working with certification entities such as EQA and OCA Global.

I can help your organization to:
- Design and evaluate innovative R&D projects
- Design Data Spaces and distributed architectures
- Consult in aspects related to Data Governance and Quality, Data Spaces and IT
- Devise solutions based on Blockchain and Privacy-Enhancing Technologies
- Develop project proposals and technical reports aligned with European R&D standards

I combine technical expertise, project management, and innovation strategy to deliver actionable, high-quality solutions.
