Bio

Hi! I'm a second year PhD Student in Applied Mathematics at Harvard University, where I am fortunate to be advised by Anna Seigal. My research is being supported by "la Caixa" Foundation and Real Colegio Complutense fellowships.

Before joining Harvard, I studied a double major in Mathematics and Data Science at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), supported by a CFIS scholarship. I also had the great opporunity to pursue my bachelor's thesis at MIT advised by Caroline Uhler.

This past summer I worked with Aida Maraj. I mentored two students during an REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) on Algebraic Geometry of Multivariate Gaussian Models.

Research

My research interests lie in the nexus between applied algebra, machine learning theory, and algebraic statistics. I am broadly interested in using algebraic tools to study problems in data science. My research is currently focused on tensor decomposition and graphical models.
