Welcome to my website!

I am a mathematician doing a postdoc at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Karolinska Institute (Stockholm, Sweden), with Martina Scolamiero, Saikat Chatterjee and Sara García Ptacek.

I did my PhD in Biomathematics at the University of Bergen (Norway) with Iain Johnston and Jan Nordbotten. Before, I took my master in Topology at the University of Bergen with Morten Brun, and my bachelor in Mathematics at Complutense University of Madrid (Spain) supervised by Luis Giraldo Suárez.

Research

My research focuses on how to apply robust tools from toplogical data analysis and machine learning to improve personalised medical treatments of dementia patients. Before, I have worked with mathematical and computational models to explain why throughout evolution, mitochondria and plastids have ended up with the genes they do under different environmental dynamics. I have also done research in generative artificial intelligence using large language models (LLMs) for synthetic tabular data in healthcare.

Research interests:

Topological data analysis, mathematical modelling, biostatistics, machine learning, systems biology.
