Dídac Cubeiro Rodríguez

He focuses on global transportation history after the advent of steam-powered ships, railways and port and harbor improvements that transformed the world, a process seen in the development of Manila and other ports in the Southeast Asia. Cubeiro's examination of the Spanish Empire's attempts to modernize the infrastructure in the Philippines to accommodate the newest demonstrates the global reach of new technology and the associated transnational flow of capital investments necessary to support them.

Xavier Cussó Segura

He develops two complementary lines of research. The first focuses on the history of food, and in particular the theoretical and empirical analysis of the Mediterranean diet, and the great changes experienced in the context of the nutrition transition model during the last two centuries in Catalonia and Spain. It has recently been extended to developing countries and the analysis of Food Sovereignty. The second line, from the perspective of the ecological economics, analyzes and compares from 19th to 21st centuries, energy and nutrient balances, the evolution of social metabolism, agrarian systems and their sustainability, landscape and social inequalities in rural societies.

Manel del Valle Zafra

He is a member of the Sensors and Biosensors group of the Autonomous University of Barcelona, where he directs lines of research on biosensors that use electrochemical impedance transducers (genosensors and aptamers) and electronic tongues (with potentiometric and voltammetric sensors). The latter are a paradigm in chemical detection, by involving the use of sensor arrays with cross-sensitivity features and concepts of machine learning. These ideas demonstrate the convergence of technologies (nanotechnology, biotechnology and artificial intelligence): nanotechnology and big-data elements are incorporated into the development of biosensors and bioelectronic tongues.
