PhD Student in Computer Vision

I am a PhD student in Computer Vision at the Institute of Robotics and Industrial Informatics (IRI, CSIC–UPC) in Barcelona, advised by Antonio Agudo. My research is on 3D scene understanding — turning multi-view imagery into faithful, editable 3D: reconstructing scenes, segmenting them, and decomposing them into clean, manipulable objects. I work with mesh- and splatting-based representations, multi-view segmentation, and generative models for 3D content, with the broader goal of bridging 2D perception and 3D structure.

Before starting the PhD I was an AI Engineer at Indra, where I built autonomous systems for European air-traffic-control operations and led a 3D simulation and rendering pipeline that generated realistic synthetic data for training computer-vision detection models. Earlier, as a research assistant in UPF’s Interactive Technologies Group (GTI), I contributed to SignOn — a European project on digital communication for deaf and hard-of-hearing people — taught the undergraduate Computer Graphics course, and developed a generative-AI framework for 3D asset creation as my Master’s thesis.

I hold an MSc in Intelligent Interactive Systems and a BSc in Computer Science, both from Universitat Pompeu Fabra. I’m always happy to discuss research, 3D vision and graphics, or potential collaborations.

Experience

AI Engineer

Indra

Built autonomous systems for air-traffic-control operations with European air-control agencies, and led a 3D simulation and rendering project generating realistic synthetic data for training computer-vision detection models.

Research Assistant

UPF — Interactive Technologies Group (GTI)

Contributed to SignOn, a European project on digital communication for deaf and hard-of-hearing people. Taught the undergraduate Computer Graphics course (2023–2025) and developed a generative AI framework for 3D asset creation (MSc thesis).

Backend & Smart Contract Developer (Intern)

Clashdome

Developed server- and blockchain-based systems and coordinated a front-end team integrating backend services.

Education

PhD in Computer Vision

Research

My work sits at the intersection of computer vision and computer graphics, focused on 3D scene understanding: reconstructing scenes, segmenting them, and decomposing them into clean, editable objects.

I am interested in bridging 2D perception and 3D structure so that real-world scenes can be turned into faithful, manipulable 3D representations. I work with mesh- and splatting-based representations, multi-view segmentation, and generative models for 3D content.

Feel free to reach out to discuss research or collaborations 😃
