Short-Bio

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Software and IT Engineering at the ETS Montreal. Prior to be appointed Professor, I was a post-doctoral fellow at the same institution. I obtained my B.Sc and M.Sc in the Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain, and his Ph.D. at the University of Lille 2, France, in 2016. I was recipient of a Marie-Curie FP7 Fellowship (2013-2016) to pursue my doctoral studies. My current research focuses on deep learning, medical imaging, optimization and learning strategies with limited supervision. Up to date, I have (co-)authored over 80 fully peer-reviewed papers, many of which published in the top venues in medical imaging (MICCAI/IPMI/MedIA/TMI/NeuroImage), computer vision (CVPR, ICCV) and machine learning (ICML, NeurIPS). Furthermore, I have given 5 tutorials on learning with limited supervision at MICCAI (2019-2022) and ICPR(2022), participated in the organization of three summer schools in Deep Learning for Medical Imaging and recognized several times as Outstanding Reviewer (MICCAI'20, ECCV'20, CVPR'21, CVPR'22, NeurIPS'22, ICCV'23).
