About me

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Nonlinear algebra group of Prof. Bernd Sturmfels at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences  (Leipzig, Germany).

Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver, Canada) working with Prof. Elina Robeva and at the University of Alaska (Fairbanks, US) working with Prof. Elizabeth S. Allman and Prof. John A. Rhodes and 

I obtained my PhD at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (Barcelona, Spain) in July 2021 under the supervision of Prof. Marta Casanellas and Prof. Jesús Fernández Sánchez. The title of my thesis is Algebraic and semi-algebraic phylogenetic reconstruction.

Here is a link to my CV (last update June 2023).

Research interests

I am particularly interested in applied algebraic geometry and algebraic statistics. My current research is focused on algebraic phylogenetics, more precisely in studying phylogenetic inference using algebraic and semi-algebraic tools.
