I am a final-year PhD student in the ELLIS PhD program at IRI (CSIC-UPC), supervised by Carme Torras and Adrià Colomé, and in 2024 I visited Amir Zamir's lab at EPFL. I work on machine learning for robotics, computer vision, and multimodal learning.
I am currently interning at Amazon on image generation models. Before that, I interned at Amazon on visual search, vision-language models, and learning to rank, and at Logitech on voice conversion. I hold an MSc in Data Science from EPFL and a BSc in Telecommunications Engineering from UPC.
