Lucas Rodes-guirao is a Senior Data Scientist based in Barcelona with 10 years of experience applying machine learning and data engineering to public-good projects and commercial products. At Our World in Data he curates global datasets — from COVID-19 to excess mortality and population demography — whose outputs are used by the WHO and major international press. Previously he built propensity and content-generation models for large-scale travel products at eDreams ODIGEO and has hands-on experience deploying ML in startups and research settings (including typhoon satellite imagery at Japan’s National Institute of Informatics). Comfortable across Python, SQL and cloud platforms, he combines rigorous academic training from KTH, KIT and UPC with a consistent “data for good” ethos and a knack for turning complex research datasets into production-ready, widely cited resources.
