Juanita is a Urban Living Lab Developer at the AMS institute. In this role, she is responsible for coordinating the MALL Living Lab and other Living Labs activities. She is passionate about cities, architecture and inclusion, and her interest is to investigate how technology and urban data can provide insights to address mobility, urban, environmental and societal challenges.
Her background combines her domain knowledge in urban planning and architecture with working experience in smart cities, mobility and technology (data, map-based visualizations and simulations, sensors, models, applications). In the projects she translates the needs and challenges of internal and external stakeholders into project scope, and requirements. During project execution, she guides the co-creation and testing activities by providing domain-specific input and validating the output.
She was previously involved in the H2020 URBANAGE and the H2020 INDIMO, CityFlows and the TOKEN projects as an Urban Design Researcher at imec.
Until 2018 she was a CityScience Advisor for the City Science Group, at the MIT Media Lab, in the context of the "Andorra Living Lab" initiative, coordinating projects in urban simulation, cultural heritage, and education.
While not working, you can find her travelling, sketching, or scuba diving.
