Miami, FL, United States

I am currently a second year PhD student in the Intelligent Complex Systems Laboratory (ICS Lab), where I am lucky to be advised by Dr. Adam Meyers.

Before starting my PhD, I earned a B.Sc. in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M). During my undergraduate, I was awarded the Community of Madrid Excellence Scholarship twice.

My research centers on time series analysis and generative modeling, with a special focus on diffusion models for imputation, forecasting and solving inverse problems. I am also broadly interested in computer vision and graph neural networks

On top of my research, with my interest on the financial sector, I also bring one year of industry experience, including a role as a Full-Stack Developer at Indexa Capital.

Always curious and open to collaboration, I love working on challenging problems that connect machine learning with real-world applications.

🌍 Outside tech, I am usually organizing the next trip, or on a court. I love playing tennis and padel, connecting with new people and chasing ideas that widen my horizons.
