Biography

I am a fourth-year PhD student at Universidad de Zaragoza, Spain (now looking for potential postdoc or industry positions), inside the Graphics and Imaging Lab. My PhD thesis is being co-supervised by Diego Gutierrez and Belen Masia. My main research topics lie in the interface between machine learning, computer graphics, and human perception. During the summer of 2019 and 2020, I had fun as a Research Intern in Adobe Research, San Jose. I obtained my Bachelor (2015) and Master (2016) degree at Universidad de Zaragoza, majoring in Computer Science and Applied Maths, respectively.
