AI-Driven Drug Discovery

About Me

Driven by a deep desire to understand how things work at their core, I bring a curious and highly analytical mindset to everything I do. With a BSc in Bioinformatics and currently pursuing an MSc in Artificial Intelligence at the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC), I strongly believe that bridging different disciplines is the key to unlocking novel, impactful solutions. 

During my time at the BSC's Digital Health Unit, I applied this interdisciplinary mindset to develop a deep learning pipeline for extracting functional cardiac metrics from 4D CMR images (a project that earned me the Best Bachelor Degree Thesis award). Currently, as an AI Engineer Intern at Nostrum Biodiscovery, my research focuses on AI-driven drug discovery.

Outside the lab, I stay active through sports, enjoying a sense of freedom and pushing myself to the limit. I also bring that same passion for blending different disciplines into music, where I love experimenting and mixing different sounds to create something completely new.
