Dr. Sergio Villamayor-Tomas
Post-doctoral fellow
Sergio Villamayor-Tomas is currently Marie Curie Research Fellow at the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA), at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. His research interests include irrigation and watershed management, climate change adaptation, the role of communication and information in common pool resource contexts, water-food-energy nexus, polycentrism and the dialogue between common pool resource theory and social movements theory. He has developed fieldwork research in Spain, Colombia, Mexico, and Germany.
