Short CV:

He obtained his PhD in History at the Universitat de Girona (2019), and currently works as an associate research at King's College London for a Project on production, commerce and consumption of honey and wax in late medieval Europe that is funded by the Leverhulme Trust. He has specialized himself on the study of private credit and nonpayment in rural contexts during the Medieval period. He has worked with unpublished documents issued by the local jurisdictional civil courts in order to describe the mechanisms through which default was pursued (and thus upheld the credit market). In different publications he has underpined the capacity of serf peasantry in Catalonia to get involved in actions in court in defense of their own economical interests. He has also focused on other aspects of the standards of living of peasants, specially on commercial livestock breeding, and the trade of commodities in small towns in Northeastern Catalonia.
