About   I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Section for Cognitive Systems, in Technical University of Denmark (DTU). I work within Jes Frellsen’s group, where we embark on a range of fascinating projects.

Research   I am interested in the connection between Deep Learning and Probabilistic Modelling. My current research lies in creating more expressive generative models, increasing their robustness and developing better inference methods. My work has been applied to several fields, like Neuroscience, Physics or Psychiatry.

Short Bio   I completed my PhD in Probabilistic Machine Learning at UC3M, where I was supervised by Prof. Antonio Artés-Rodríguez and Dr. Pablo M. Olmos from the Signal Processing Group. Previously, I was a research intern at the Machine Learning Group in the Department of the Engineering, University of Cambridge where I worked with Prof. José Miguel Hernández-Lobato. I obtained two MSc degrees in Telecommunications Engineering and Signal Processing from UC3M, and a BSc degree in Telecommunications Engineering from UGR.
