About Me
I am a researcher at the IMDEA Software Institute in Madrid, Spain. Previously, I was at the Carlos III University of Madrid, in the SP group. During 2022-2024, I was a postdoc at the Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB) and lead of the Continuous Optimization branch in the IOL group, where I worked with Sebastian Pokutta among others. Prior to this, I was a PhD student at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Oxford supervised by Prof. Varun Kanade and Prof. Patrick Rebeschini. I obtained an MSc in Mathematics and Foundations of Computer Science at the University of Oxford and a double Bachelor in Mathematics and in Computer Science at the Complutense University of Madrid.
I am looking for PhD students and interns to work in Madrid, Spain (also Berlin at IOL co-supervised by Sebastian Pokutta)

Research
I am interested in continuous optimization and fields that interplay with it, like online learning and other machine learning theory. My focus is on high-dimensional problems appearing in machine learning, and network analysis, among others. Some topics I have worked on are:
