About

I work at the intersection of signal processing, system modeling and machine learning, combining methodological research with applied research and technology transfer.

About me

I am Professor at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) and Director of the Signal Processing Applications Group (GAPS-UPM). My background is in Telecommunication Engineering and digital signal processing, and my work has progressively connected system modeling, speech and audio, communications, machine learning and applied R&D.

I am particularly interested in problems where observations are used to understand, identify or control complex signal-generating systems, and in approaches that combine interpretable models with data-driven learning.
