I design NLP-based tools that help us understand large document collections.
I am currently an NLP researcher with teaching duties at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. I received my PhD in Signal Processing and Communications Engineering (specialisation in Signal and Data Processing) in November 2025, under the supervision of Jerónimo Arenas-García.
So far, my work has focused on the development of NLP methods for real-world needs. A central theme of my research has been the design of practical systems that industrialise the use of topic models, particularly in applied settings within the Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) domain, where analysts need to make sense of large document collections to support informed decision-making.
I'm now looking to transition from supporting technical decision-making (such as public procurement) to high-risk social decision-making, particularly in sensitive domains like public health and crisis intervention.
One direction I am aiming to explore is the design of NLP-based tools that help practitioners identify which social and emotional factors drive risk in young people, and where timely interventions could prevent crises rather than merely react to them.
Research & selected publications
Methodologically, my research sits at the intersection of NLP and human-computer interaction, with a focus on the design of task-oriented evaluation protocols, interactive systems for large-scale text exploration, and interfaces that enable domain experts to guide model behaviour.
