I am an Assistant Professor at the Autonomous University of Barcelona and a researcher at the Computer Vision Center in Barcelona, specialized in representation learning. My research focuses on the emerging properties in foundation models. I have published work in top venues, including CVPR, ECCV, and ICLR.
I completed my PhD at the Autonomous University of Barcelona under the supervision of Prof. Joost Van de Weijer. I received my Master of Science degree in 2018 from SUPSI, Switzerland, and my Bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering in 2016 from Universidad de Antioquia, Colombia.
