Professional background and credentials
Luna holds a master's degree in Phytotherapy from the University of Barcelona and a bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences from Maastricht University, where they studied programming, molecular biology, neuroscience, and business. During their undergraduate studies, Luna developed a strong interest in DIY and DIWO (do-it-with-others) science projects as well as open science more generally, which they carried into their master's program. Their bachelor’s thesis involved a DIWO project investigating how non-neural organisms can solve logic problems. For their master’s thesis, Luna focused on compiling a list of plants with clinically studied effects on H. pylori, a bacterium associated with gastric cancer. Outside academia, Luna has been slowly growing a career as a grassroots project catalyst, dedicating their efforts to organizing events and workshops that empower communities to achieve their social and environmental goals through creative practices. They are the co-founder of Litu, a Spanish NGO focused on environmental justice and inclusion, as well as the co-organizer of AmazôniaHack, an open hackathon aimed at protecting the Amazon rainforest. At Omni, Luna continues to explore diverse fields and enjoys creating engaging, informative content — particularly on social and environmental topics. Some of their favorite tools include the Reduce Your Plastic calculator and the Contrast Ratio calculator.
Achievements
As part of their professional career, Luna has played a role in the creation of many different organizations and projects. One that they are particularly proud of is Young Office Zilina, a Slovak youth cultural collective that has now become a cornerstone of youth cultural action in the region.
