About Me
My name is Cesar Casiano Flores, and I am an assistant professor in the Department of Technology, Policy and Society, within the Section of Governance and Technology for Sustainability (CSTM) at the University of Twente. Prior to this, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Public Governance Institute (PGI) and the Spatial Application Division Leuven (SADL) in KU Leuven. My area of expertise lies in the governance of environmental and digital policies to achieve Sustainable Development Goals in urban areas. I have conducted research and published papers on various topics of interest, including Wastewater treatment policies, Climate change adaptation, Climate-sensitive cities transition, Circular economy, Land policy, Urban mobility, Disruptive technologies, Smart cities, Geospatial (open) data and European Interoperability.
I have coordinated and conducted research in Europe, Latin America, and Africa as part of various projects such as Horizon, Interreg, and the European Commission. I am an expert in UNESCO Inclusive Policy Lab, and I have evaluated grant applications and projects in climate change as a European Commission expert. Also, I am a Mexican Researchers System SNI 1 member and an editorial board member of Nature Partner Journals, Urban Sustainability, Urban Planning, and Vivienda y Comunidades Sustentables.
