About me

I am a Ph.D. student at IRI-UPC under the supervision of Francesc Moreno-Noguer and Guillem Alenyà. I have interned at Google Research with Thiemo Alldieck and Mihai Zanfir in 2022 and at Meta with Lingni Ma in 2021. Previously, I visited Naver Labs Europe with Grégory Rogez. Before starting my PhD, I visited Sanja Fidler at University of Toronto in 2017 and worked as a data scientist in IntelliSense.io.

My research is in areas of computer vision and machine learning, including modelling and reconstruction of 3D human bodies and hands.
