Carlos Cámara-Menoyo

Principal Research Software Engineer

I am an interdisciplinary researcher whose research articulates around how physical and digital infrastructures, especially those that are commonly produced, respond to and are shaped by societal challenges. I’ve worked as an architect, drupal developer, project manager, lecturer, data scientist, and currently as Principal Research Software Engineer.

My research interests revolve around the social aspect of technology and methods to surface the world-views that are invariably embedded in technical artefacts such as cities, software or platforms. To do so, I use mixed methods with a preference for digital methods, participatory methods and data visualisation and a keen interest in EDI and open research best practices to make research Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable
