Currently, he is the director of the Ecuadorian Observatory of Occupational Safety and Health (OESST) at UEES. His research is focused on understanding the impact of working conditions on workers' health and generating knowledge for public policy decision-making.
Dr. Gómez has been accepted for a postdoctoral research stay at the Department of Medicine and Life Sciences of the Pompeu Fabra University (UPF), Barcelona - Spain.
