Hello there

I am now a postdoc at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, where I work with Prof. Michael J. Black. I'm mostly interested in how to integrate high level information (such as recognition) into low level vvision (such as motion estimation).

I received my PhD from UMass in February 2015, where I worked at the Computer Vision Lab under the supervision of Prof. Erik Learned-Miller. During my PhD, my focus was on long-range motion estimation (object tracking and optical flow). For this, I collaborated with Prof. Michael J. Black. I also worked on applications of motion estimation on real world videos with Eli Shechtman.

Before coming to UMass I received my undergrad degree in Computer Science in University of Granada and my masters from Brown University. This was possible thanks to the funding I received as a fellow of Fundacion Caja Madrid. I also had the opportunity of interning at Apple for a summer.

Here is my Resume.
