About me

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in Prof. Isabel Valera’s group in Saarland University since January 2025. I hold a degree in Telecommunications Engineering from Vigo University and a Master’s in Machine Learning applied to Health from University Carlos III in Madrid (UC3M). In 2024, I completed my Ph.D. in Probabilistic Machine Learning applied to Personalized Medicine and Genetics at UC3M, under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Pablo M. Olmos. During my Ph.D., I also worked as a predoctoral researcher at the Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria Gregorio Marañón (IiSGM) with Dr. Carolina Martínez Laperche, supported by the Intramural Grant.

My research focuses on developing probabilistic machine learning methods for representation learning and dimensionality reduction, particularly in analyzing complex, high-dimensional data with continuous and discrete Variational Autoencoders. Throughout my Ph.D., I combined theoretical and applied research, aiming to bridge the gap between machine learning advancements and real-world clinical applications. This approach allowed me to tackle medical challenges while contributing to machine learning methodology. Now, my focus is on further improving these methods to develop models that are flexible, interpretable and robust.
