Work experience
April 2023 - Current
Project researcher @ NII - Satoh-lab
I'm currently conducting research on event cameras, focusing both in fundamental research and advanced algorithms.
April 2021 - March 2023
Postdoctoral researcher @ NII - Satoh-lab
I conducted research using computer vision techniques, mainly multiple object tracking, face detection, and classification to analyze Japanese politicians' portrayal on public and private TV channels over the past 20 years in a multidisciplinary team of political and computer scientists.
September 2017 - March 2021
PhD candidate | Deep Learning Engineer @ UPC - Image Processing Group | AutomaticTV
I pursued my PhD in AutomaticTV, a company devoted to automatic productions of sports, and the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, under the supervision of Professors Ferran Marqués and Xavier Giró-i-Nieto, and Dr. Ignasi Rius. I was in charge of transfer state-of-the-art knowledge, introducing Deep Learning techniques to the team, working on object detection, segmentation, and multiple object tracking, and was in charge of the Deep Learning pipeline, from generating and maintaining the dataset to training and delivering the models to the production team.
March 2017 - August 2017
Research intern @ NII - Satoh-lab
I worked on a project using Multiple Object Tracking and Segmentation for query expansion for instance retrieval.
September 2014 - February 2017
Research assistant @ UPC - Image Processing Group
My work consisted on assisting PhD candidates by optimizing the coding of the algorithms (Matlab and C) and building visualization tools in Matlab to provide insights on different aspects of their methods. During that time, I also worked on top of the research done by Dr. David Varas, under the supervision of Professor Ferran Marqués, which resulted in both my Bachelor Thesis and Master Thesis.
June 2014 - September 2014
Intern @ BCN VISION
My first job in the computer vision field! BCN Vision is a company devoted to monitoring a production chain in order to detect defective pieces. I worked making viability studies on how we could detect defects on the manufactured pieces for both client and production team.

Publications
Other
I love sports, music, and table games. Hit me if you are around Tokyo for a match of Volleyball or Soccer, or a improv. session (I play guitar and sing occasionally).
Won a competition for amateur theater representing an adaptation of Ten little Indians by Agatha Christie.
I was an extra in Game of Thrones (Season 6). If you look closely you can see my face in a couple of frames (I was a Tyrell army soldier).
