Biography

Ph.D. in Computer Science, assistant professor at the University of Oviedo and Machine Learning researcher 🤖. My research primarily focuses on the diagnosis and prognosis of systems with limited data for decision-making. This has allowed me to work on various fields and problems including Atrial Fibrillation, fPET images from patients in coma, Li-ion Batteries, Aircraft Engines, Industrial Fans, and Urban Regulation. I have a special interest in developing models that are transparent, easily interpretable, and accessible to non-experts in ML/AI. As an educator, I aim to convey my enthusiasm to students and provide them with the necessary tools to discover and pursue their own goals.

💬 Feel free to reach out to me if you are interested in my research, looking for colaboration, or just for some interesting discussion.
