About me

I’m an Industrial PhD Student at University College Dublin - Conway Institute for Biomolecular and Biomedical Research and IBM Research Dublin, where I research ML algorithms for bioinformatics. Specifically, my main focus is on self-supervised multimodal foundation models for protein and peptide representation learning. My thesis supevisors are Denis Shields and Thanh Lam Hoang.

Previously, I completed a BSc. in Biotechnology at the University of Oviedo and a MSc. in Bioinformatics (with focus on Structural Bioinformatics) at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. After my Master’s I worked as a Research Assistant at the Insilichem Research Group
