Hi! I am a Senior Data Scientist at the Bank of Spain. My work focuses on applying cutting-edge AI techniques to macroeconomic analysis and financial stability.

Prior to this, I was an Applied AI Research Scientist at Telefónica Research, from 2022 to 2026, and a postdoctoral researcher at the Barcelona Neural Networking center (BNN-UPC), between 2020 and 2022. I hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), in 2020, and a B.Sc and M.Sc. degrees in Telecommunication Engineering from the University of Granada (UGR).

The following is a non-exhaustive list of my interests:

• Graph-based Deep Learning / Geometric Deep Learning
• Deep Reinforcement Learning
• Multivariate Time Series Analysis
• Time Series Foundation Models
• Geospatial Data Analysis & Modeling
• GenAI for Privacy-Preserving Data Generation
• Anomaly Detection
