Graph Learning: Principles, Challenges, and Open Directions
ICML, Vienna, July 2024.
I am a postdoctoral researcher at ELLIS Alicante and a member of the ELLIS network.
โ๏ธ+๐ค+๐๏ธ My research focuses on building trustworthy AI systems for high-stakes decisions and social networks, and on exploring how these technologies intersect with AI regulation and policy-making, understanding AI as a sociotechnical system.
๐ธ๏ธ I am also particularly interested in graph neural networks: understanding their theoretical and practical limitations, improving performance and interpretability, and analyzing fairness and robustness in networked settings. I co-organized the ICML 2024 tutorial on Graph Learning with Ameya Velingker, and contribute to the community as General Chair of LoG 2025 and Associate Chair of ICML 2024.
๐ I completed my PhD (cum laude) at the ELLIS Alicante, under the supervision of Nuria Oliver, and was a visiting researcher at MPI-SWS hosted by Manuel Gomez-Rodriguez as part of the ELLIS PhD & PostDoc Program. I focused on algorithmic fairness, human-AI collaboration, and their alignment with AI regulatory frameworks and labor law.
๐ During my doctoral research, I engaged in project-based collaborations with industry and institutional partners, including Intel Labs (RESUMAIS project) and Bank Sabadell, addressing responsible AI integration in operational settings. At the European level, I contributed to the research and innovation project ELIAS. At the national level, I participated in the development of Spain’s Charter of Digital Rights, contributing to policy discussions on AI governance, fundamental rights, and algorithmic accountability.
๐ข Beyond research and policy work, I played an active role in dissemination, outreach, and organization efforts within the research community.
๐ Before my PhD, I worked on network science and ML for life sciences at UOC with Baris Kanber (UCL), and at the Admirable lab at the University of Burgos with a research scholarship. MSc project ย BSc project
