      Exchange Project in Computer Science Computer Science

      I worked at the Signal Processing Laboratory 5 (LTS5) and the Medical Image Analysis Laboratory (MIAL) in an interdisciplinary medical imaging project that aims to improve the diagnosis and follow-up of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients by applying computer vision techniques to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).Together with my supervisors (Jean-Philippe Thiran and Meritxell Bach) and assistants, we developed RimNet, a network that automatically detected paramagnetic rims around MS… Show more I worked at the Signal Processing Laboratory 5 (LTS5) and the Medical Image Analysis Laboratory (MIAL) in an interdisciplinary medical imaging project that aims to improve the diagnosis and follow-up of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients by applying computer vision techniques to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).Together with my supervisors (Jean-Philippe Thiran and Meritxell Bach) and assistants, we developed RimNet, a network that automatically detected paramagnetic rims around MS lesions, proving itself as a promising tool to aid doctors with patients' prognosis. The results were submitted to MIDL2020.I particularly appreciated working in an international and multidisciplinary project with engineers, medical doctors and MRI physicists. Show less

      Junior Full-Stack Developer

      I worked in Getupcode as a full-stack developer, being in charge of the development and maintenance of their web platform, which included the design and maintenance of its database. During the time spent there, I learned to use many different technologies: javascript, HTML, CSS, .NET, Linq, Selenium, SQL, Sencha (ExtJS)...

      My responsibilities in Universitat de Barcelona as IT support included the surveillance of an IT room with 30 computers and the support to its users.

    • Herta

      Jun 2019 - Sept 2019
      Assistant Research Scientist

      In Herta, I worked conducting research on tracking algorithms. During my internship, I explored all phases of research, starting with the collection and annotation of data. Then, I delved into state-of-the-art algorithms and implemented them with python. Finally, I developed and validated a new tracking algorithm, which achieved very good results. We also wrote a paper with the results and submitted it to a computer vision conference.

      Graduate Research Intern

      With this internship, I was offered a great opportunity to further explore the results of the work done in my previous exchange project in EPFL. In it, I am exploring the prediction capabilities of other contrasts and the challenges that ultra-high-field MRI poses to RimNet.

      Feb 2021 - Feb 2022
      Graduate Research Intern

      I carried out my Master's thesis on behavior prediction in dyadic interactions. Also as part of my thesis, I led the organization of the "Behavior Prediction" track within the scopes of the DYAD ICCV'21 challenge and workshop. I explored RNNs, GANs, and GNNs and conducted research of novel models that established a strong baseline on this problem for the novel UDIVA v0.5 dataset.
