Bio

Hi! I'm a PhD student in Computer Science at Complutense University of Madrid (UCM), in the Systems Engineering, Control, Automation and Robotics (ISCAR) Research Group, advised by Professor Gonzalo Pajares and Eva Besada.
I completed my Master in Computer Science and Engineering at University of Deusto where I was advised by Professor Enrique Onieva. I completed my Bachelor in Systems Engineering at National University of San Cristóbal de Huamanga.

My research focuses on building deep learning algorithms for object detection and semantic segmentation within the AI-GES-BLOOM-CM project (Towards an integrated system for the warning and management of cyanobacterial BLOOMs in inland waters, 2021-2024, SINERGICOS-CAM UAM-UCM) and AMPBAS (Automatic Monitoring of Pollutants in Dammed Waters using Biosensors and Autonamous Surface Vehicle, 2019-2021, RTI2018-098962-B-C21).
