Experience

  1. Postdoctoral Researcher

    Institut de Biologia Evolutiva - CSIC

    As a postdoctoral researcher at Lao’s Lab my main project has been deciphering the demographic history of Southeast Asian populations with interest in the effect of Early Modern Human and Denisova Introgression to current day human populations in Asia applying ABC-DL & GP4GP.

    Responsibilities include:

    • Develop GP4PG software
    • Apply GP4PG to multiple demographic inference projects
  2. Postdoctoral Researcher

    CiC-Biogune

    As part of Marigorta’s Lab, I’ve been working on the Meta-Marax (MM) haplotype-GWAS project, producing the Polygenic Risk Scores for the probabilities obtained by MM.

    Responsibilities include:

    • Design methodologies to calculate polygenic scores for Schizophrenia using haplotype-based GWAS

Education

  1. PhD Biomedicine

    Universitat Pompeu Fabra & Institut de Biologia Evolutiva
    Thesis on Demographic Inference in complex populations: the North African case. Supervised by Dr. David Comas & Dr. Oscar Lao. Contributions published in 2 papers in Genome Biology and Human Molecular Genetics.
    Read Thesis
  2. Master in Biological Anthropology

    Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona & Universitat de Barcelona

    This master’s program provided me with a multidisciplinary perspective on anthropological studies. With a background in population genetics, it allowed me to explore human evolution through social and archaeological lenses while also deepening my expertise in population genetics.

    Relevant courses included:

    • Human Biodiversity
    • Primatology and Human Evolution
    • Antrhopological Demography
  3. BSc Genetics

    Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona

    As a Genetics graduate, I gained a foundational understanding of the genetics of life, from the molecular structure of DNA to evolution and speciation. The degree offered a multidisciplinary approach, covering classical genetics, population genetics, bioinformatics, cancer genetics, and diagnostics.

    Relevant courses included:

    • Bioinformatics
    • Population Genetics
    • Evolution

Courses & Workshops
Linear Regression with Numpy and Python
Coursera ∙ May 2023
I studied the foundation of liear regression. By the end, I was able to apply perform linear regression analysis in Python.
Técnicas de Machine Learning basadas en árboles para Investigación científica con R
Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales ∙ November 2022
I learned different machine learning algorithms such as xboostg, random forest appliying them to sample biological data
IBE PhD Course
Institut Biologia Evolutiva ∙ July 2022
In this course I got familiarized with techinques performed by several of my colleagues during their PhD as well as grasping a basic knowledge of the different research topics performed in the institute.
Java Programming I & II, MOOC
University of Helsinki ∙ July 2020
This course showed me the basis of the Java programming language as well as helping me understand object oriented programming.
