About me
I am a semester postdoc at the Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM) at Brown University (Providence, US).
Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Nonlinear algebra group of Prof. Bernd Sturmfels at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences (Leipzig, Germany), 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.
I received my PhD from 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
My main research interests lie in the realm of applications of algebraic geometry in Phylogenetics and Algebraic Statistics. I study the geometric and algebraic structure of statistical models and use it to answer questions related to identifiability, parameter estimation, model selection and inference.
