I am a PhD student at ELLIS in Alicante Unit as part of the ELLIS PhD & PostDoc Program. I am very lucky to be supervised by Dr. Nuria Oliver and to have done an exchange at MPI-SWS advised by Dr. Manuel Gómez Rodríguez.
I’m currently focused on the sociotechnical problems of Machine Learning in Decision-making: Algorithmic Fairness and Graph Neural Networks. I’m delving into the ethical implications of such decisions made by ML models, including concepts such as transparency, accountability, reliability, and fairness. Therefore, the main projects are developing algorithms that improves understanding of ML models with a focus un the data and it’s representations (how the data should be to make ML models fair?), the fairness problem in networks (the natural societal data type), the unexpected effects of this models, and, last but no least, the actual application in the society (regulation and politics).
In the past, I’ve mainly worked in ML and DL applied to life science, as in my Bachelor’s and Master’s Thesis - both with outstanding results (honours) -. Besides, I also researched in network science and graph theory, leading to some conference papers about the understanding of the acadamic network.
