 I'm a Ph. D. Candidate at the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC), in Barcelona, under the supervision of Dr. Josep R. Casas. My research interests are markerless motion capture, human motion analysis, action recognition, machine learning and multi-view image processing. My Ph.D. thesis focuses on the role of articulated models and pose estimation in the recognition of human actions from video. Contact Info.
