Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolXavier Rotllan-puig is an ecological researcher and data scientist with 11 years of experience translating biodiversity, remote sensing and spatial data into policy-relevant insights for European and local conservation initiatives. He has a strong track record at the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre and as an independent consultant, developing reproducible workflows, open-source tools and models for ecological monitoring, land productivity and deforestation assessment. Equally at home in the field and at the console, he combines hands-on species monitoring and lab work with advanced GIS, statistical and machine-learning analyses. His projects span local endemic species conservation to large-scale EU observatories, including work that links citizen science, deep learning and agroecosystem mapping to inform the Common Agricultural Policy and Nature Restoration Law. Based in Catalonia, he is available for short- and medium-term consultancy and brings a practical bias toward scalable, reproducible solutions that directly support evidence-based decision-making. An understated strength is his ability to bridge ecological nuance with robust data pipelines, making complex environmental signals actionable for policymakers.
