Dissertation title: "Political Engineering: Science, Technology, and the Spanish Landscape (1939-1959)." This is a revision of early Francoist Spain from the point of view of the history of science and technology. It incorporates economic and enviromental history. I am also very interested in the relations between history and philosophy, not least philosophy of science. I currently hold a research post-doc at the UAB (Barcelona) as part of the European project TEUS (http://teus.unistra.fr/) on the Cold War and the development of European Geophysics.
