🎓 Research Inteterest and Projects
Throughout my career, I have participated in more than 15 research projects, leading 2 of them as Principal Investigator.
I highlight my participation in a social development project in Peru, where we contributed to education in educational robotics and Scratch programming for more than 2000 children aged 8 to 15 in vulnerable areas.
The main research area is about Synthetic Images and Hybrid Neural Networks:
- Lead developer of the Python library TINTOlib, designed for building hybrid neural networks with synthetic images.
- Creator of the TINTO method, an innovative technique to convert tabular data into synthetic images.
🗣️ I have delivered multiple seminars on AI and TINTOlib in Spain and America. See the TINTOlib Talk Map.
