About me

I received the M.Sc. degree in Telecommunication Engineering, and the Ph.D. degree in Computer and Telecommunication Engineering, from Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, in 2014 and 2019, respectively. In 2014, I joined the Biometrics and Data Pattern Analytics - BiDA Lab at the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, where I'm currently Associate Professor. I'm a member of the ELLIS Society (European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems) and ELLIS Unit Madrid, Technical Area Committee of EURASIP (European Association For Signal Processing), and Editorial Board of the IEEE Biometrics Council Newsletter. My research interests are mainly focused on signal and image processing, pattern recognition, and machine learning, particularly in the areas of DeepFakes, Human-Computer Interaction, Biometrics, and Health. I'm the author of more than 100 scientific articles published in international journals and conferences. I have served as General Chair and Program Chair (AVSS 2022), and Area Chair (IJCB 2023, ICPR 2022) in top conferences. I have also received several awards such as the "European Biometrics Industry Award (2018)" from the European Association for Biometrics (EAB), the "Best Ph.D. Thesis Award in 2019-2022" from the Spanish Association for Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis (AERFAI), and the "Juan Lopez de Peñalver Award (2024)" from the Spanish Royal Academy of Engineering (RAING) for my research contributions and transfer of technologies.
