Brief CV
I was born in Barcelona (Spain) some years ago. I was happily living in Torino (Italy) betwen 2016 - 2021 when I moved to Barcelona to give birth of twins... and I am still in Barcelona!
This is a brief CV, (for a longer version download a more complete CV here or just go to Linkedin):
2005-2010
I studied Mathematics (a 5 years degree) at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, UPC (Barcelona, Spain).
2010-2011
I continued my studies at the same faculty (Facultat de Matemàtiques i Estadística, FME) and university (UPC) and I did my Master’s Degree in Mathematical Engineering, specialized in Biomedical sciences modelling.
My master's project is titled: Expectation Maximization for phylogenetic trees (original title: Expectation Maximization per a arbres filogenètics) supervised by Marta Casanellas. Awarded with Évariste Galois Prize 2013.
2011-2014
During these years I obtained PhD in Applied Mathematics by UPC [cum laude], in Computational & Mathematical Biology. It was supervised by Tomas Alarcón in Centre de Recerca Matemàtica (CRM). PhD title dissertation: Evolutionary dynamics of populations with genotype-phenotype map
2015
Personal project.
Ok... I did a trip around the world during 7 months (if you want to know more I have a blog, it is not finished yet...).
Januaty-April 2016
I worked in a company as Data Scientist in Barcelona.
Summing up, I participated in different projects mainly doing: time-series and prediction analysis, creating databases and modelling client segmentation.
May 2016- Feb 2019
I moved to Italy, more specifically to Torino at ISI Foundation, where I have had a postdoc position in the ADnD: Algebraic-topological Detection of neurodegenerative Diseases, with Giovanni Petri as a principal research in the group. Topological Data Analysis is so cool!
2019 (March 2019- September 2019)
Personal project. I did a trip around the world (again) during 7 months (if you want to know more I have a blog, and this is finished!).
From December 2019 - September 2022:
I came back to Turin and to ISI Foundation again, but this time in order to participate as a Data Scientist in the AI Lab of the research center. I was working on developing and applying data science and machine learning algorithms to solve problems in the financial domain. Mainly regarding risk overlay optimization: hedging portfolios, data quality analysis. So... I was more in the industrial side than in the research one. Anyway, I was trying to keep active some research :)
Stop!
Covid appeared (end 2019 - 2020) but then, after a year...
I had twins!! (September 2021), a boy (Enric) and a girl (Raquel). That means, a new 24/7 job...
September 2022 - July 2023:
I continued at ISI Foundation (but as Postdoctoral Reasearcher, after the center had a break... ) working on data analysis on human contact dataset to understand contact behaviour under different conditions. On the other hand, I was also working in sentimental analysis (+networks) from a dataset of posts in a journal and interactions between users.
Apart from my main job I was an assistant professor at UOC:
September 2020 - June 2023:
Assistant professor at UOC (Universitat Oberta de Catalunya) on courses on:
Python for Data Scientist on the Data Science degree and Master
Graph Analysis and social Networks on Data Science Master
(June-September 2022: Create materials on Jupyter Notebooks for UOC programming school)
September 2023 - March 2024:
A new jump: I have come back to the industry. I have started to work in AilyLabs as a Data Scientist. From the moment I am working in the OCR department. That is, I am in an image recognition project: Parse hand-written logs of industrial processes (related to syringe filling) as a first-step to understand the current inefficiencies and minimize them.
April 2024 - :
Again to the academy! Now as a Lecturer in the Computer Science, Multimedia and Telecommunications Department of UOC (Universitat Oberta de Catalunya)
