About

Welcome to my personal webpage! I'm a software engineer at Google working on XR, where I focus on 3D reconstruction and calibration for the Samsung Galaxy XR and Aura by XREAL.

I completed my PhD in 2023 at the Robotics, Perception and Real Time (RoPeRT) group at the University of Zaragoza, supervised by Prof. Juan D. Tardós. Before that I studied a BSc in Computer Engineering and an MEng in Biomedical Engineering, both at Unizar, where I started my career as a computer vision researcher.

My work is about how computers perceive and understand their surroundings through Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (V-SLAM). I'm especially motivated by situations that break these technologies, like deformable V-SLAM, which has direct applications in fields such as minimally invasive surgery.
