I am Postdoc Researcher at the AYRNA research group at the University of Alcalá in Spain. My current research interests include a wide range of topics such as deep learning, ordinal classification, and time series classification. Specifically, I am focused on developing new methodologies that utilise deep learning models to solve ordinal classification problems. I am also interested in applying these methods to real-world industrial, biomedical and renewable energies applications. Additionally, I have been involved in numerous scientific projects primarily related to ordinal classification and applications in the area of healthcare and renewable energies. I am PhD in Artificial Intelligence by the University of Cordoba in 2023, MEng in Artificial Intelligence Research from Menendez Pelayo International University in 2019 and a BSc in Computer Engineering from the University of Cordoba in 2018.
