Profile

I am a biomedical engineer with hands-on research experience in signal processing and health data analysis. I continuously expand my knowledge by learning new programming languages and exploring new fields through courses, projects, and open-source contributions.

Work Experience

Doctoral Researcher Oct 2026 – Present

IBEC & VHIR, Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron, Spain

Leads the mScreenSleep project on smartphone- and wearable-based mHealth for non-invasive sleep apnea diagnosis; manages multimodal data acquisition and AI analysis, validated against gold standards in general, paediatric, and SCI populations.

Technical Research Support Feb 2026 – July 2026

IBEC, Spain

Research assistant within the “Green Electrodes for Sustainable Electrophysiology” (GreenELECTRO) project at IBEC, responsible for ECG data acquisition, signal processing, and electrical characterization of novel eco-sustainable electrodes.

Clinical Informatics Intern Apr 2026 – Aug 2026

Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, Spain

Conducted a study to compare clinical entity coding across multiple terminologies (ICD-10, SNOMED-CT, ICD-11) to calculate completeness, concordance, and clinical specificity metrics.

Technical Research Support May 2023 – May 2024

IBEC, Spain

Research assistant on the “La Marató de TV3” funded project investigating respiratory system evolution in COVID-19 patients and treatment of resulting pneumonia. Collaborated with multiple hospitals for data collection, coordinated team reports, and contributed to the signal processing pipeline.
