Biography

I recieved the degree in Electrical Engineering in 2015 from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) and M.Sc in Wireless Systems in 2015, from Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan (KTH). I am currently enrolled in a Ph.D program in the Image Processing Group at UPC (GPI), holding a scholarship of the Spanish Government. My main research area is focused on biomedical aplications, with great interest in machine learning and statistics.

I am involved in a project collaboration between the GPI and Fundació Pasqual Maragall (FPM), working on Alzheimer Disease.
