Expertise Summary

Jordi’s work focuses in the design and implementation of new sensing technologies in biological systems. For example, Jordi developed an automated soil emission monitoring system based on a Laser Absorption Spectrometer that allow precise estimation of annual N2O cumulative emissions.
Recently Jordi has been working in the development of geo-bio-physical models for proximal and on-contact advanced sensing technologies.
