Research focus

From foundational research to real-world systems

My work connects AI research and multimedia technologies with industrial challenges in multiple sectors including ICT, cultural and creative industries, retail, mobility, manufacturing, robotics and health. Current interests include synthetic data, multimodal and generative AI, neural rendering, 3D reconstruction and human-centered interactive systems.

Experience

Research, leadership and technology transfer

Foundations · 2002–2015

Scientific research

My PhD and postdoctoral research explored biologically inspired vision, image fusion and compression at IO-CSIC and ETSIT–UPM, followed by biomedical and microscopy imaging at VISILAB–UCLM.

Evolution · 2015–2025

Applied AI research

After joining Eurecat, my work evolved toward applied deep learning, multimodal and generative AI, neural rendering and human–computer interaction. I led the Image Group from 2022 to 2025.

Perspective

Technology in dialogue with image and sound

An MSc in Sonology at UPFESMUC (2012) shaped a long-standing interest in the intersection of image, sound and interactive technologies. This perspective continues to inform both my research and creative computing practice. Explore the blog, creative projects or code.
