Associate professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Oviedo
In 2000 I started teaching in the University of Oviedo where I got my PhD in 2005. My main area of interest is Web IR but I'm now focused on social media research. I have published in international conferences, journals and magazines, such as Communications of the ACM, IEEE Internet Computing, or IEEE Multimedia. I acted as guest co-editor for a special issue of Internet Research on the predictive power of social media, and I contributed a chapter on Political Opinion to "Twitter: A Digital Socioscope", published by Cambridge University Press. I have also written a book about Politics and Social Media which has not yet been published.

Social Media and Authoritarianism
Social media is not a democracy catalyzer, it can be exploited by authoritarian regimes to their advantage and, what's more, Western countries are slipping to authoritarian manners regarding social media.
