Daniel López is Associate Professor of Social Psychology at the Open University of Catalonia. His work is placed at the intersection of Science and Technology Studies, Age Studies and Care Studies. His work is mainly devoted to the study of infrastructures and practices of care in later life, ranging from ICT-based systems such as telecare to community-led infrastructures such as senior cohousing or mutual-care initiatives. Theoretically, his work explores the biopolitics of aging and draws on Actor-network theory, poststructuralism and feminist technoscience. More recently, he got interested in self-tracking technologies, participatory sensing projects as well as maintenance and repair practices as infrastructural care. He is currently a board member of the Catalan Society for Geriatrics and Gerontology and senior researcher of the group CareNet at the Internet Interdisciplinary Institute (IN3/UOC).
