 I am a Geoinformatics Engineer. I have been actively contributing to the geospatial domain in both Academia and Industry since 2015. During this time I have used my expertise to make end-to-end solutions from data acquisition, data management and provision of services in the application areas of Urban planning, Vehicle tracking, Rescue services, Location based services and Archaeology.

Karla’s PhD is about the level of energy services used in different countries with a focus on development. The research involves analysing country-level databases, performing statistical analyses and making visualisations. 

Karla holds a Bachelors’ degree in Chemical Engineering from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and an MSc from University College London (UCL). 

Karla’s professional experiences before the PhD included working for the non-alcoholic beverage industry in Mexico in the areas of quality, environment protection and operations management.

I am a Research Associate in the Faculty of Education, working with The EdTech Hub. The project focuses upon using educational technology in low- and middle-income countries. Before joining the Faculty, I was a visiting fellow at the Institute of Educational Technology at the Open University, working primarily with the Open Education Research Hub. In addition to questions around mixed-methods data management in the Social Sciences, I am also particularly interested in open research, digital scholarship and licensing for data reuse.
