I started my Engineering degree in 2012, in the Universidad de Zaragoza. Then, in 2017, the 2-year Masters on Engineering followed. In my second year, I participated in the Erasmus+ program and went to the RWTH Aachen University (Germany) were I started to learn computer vision and deep learning. The Erasmus was followed by an internship at Universidad de Zaragoza, in the Department of Computer Science and Systems Enginnering.

In December 2019, I presented my Master's Thesis on omnidirectional images under the supervision of my advisors (Jesús Bermudez-Cameo and Josechu Guerrero), which was the results of the internship in the department.

My Ph.D started in January 2020 in the same department and with the same advisors with which I did my Master's thesis (Why should I change something that works?). At that moment, my life as Ph.D student started. Though, the starting time was not the best 🦠😷🦠😷🦠, it allowed my to focus on publishing with less distractions (also called life). In December 2023 I finally read my thesis Learning the surroundings: 3D scene understanding from omnidirectional images, achieving the calification of cum laude.

My research interest is on Computer Vision and Deep learning, and more specifically, scene understanding from omnidirectional images. I am also interested on geometrical and photometric approaches inside the computer vision field. I do have some experience on geometrical solutions (with great help of my advisors), but I have mostly focused on deep learning solutions in these last years. In my research stay in the CNRS-AIST JRL (Japan), I also got many help from fellow researchers on photometric approaches and with the combinations of methods I started in the field of practical applications of omnidirectional cameras.

Here I present a collection of the publications where I participated and the available code of some of them.

I do hope this page helps someone to get to my work (and of course, that my work is useful for many many people). And also, to add some "color", here is one of the results of my research with non-central panoramas. Enjoy it hehe.
