I was born in Melilla, Spain, in 1997. I received a Bsc in Computer Science (Ingeniería Informática – Computación) from the University of Málaga in 2019. That same year, I started working with the MAPIR group during my bachelor’s thesis. I went on to receive a Master’s Degree in AI and Software Engineering, also from the University of Málaga, in 2020. In 2021, I officially joined the group as a PhD student, under the tutelage of Javier González-Jiménez and Javier Monroy. I defended my PhD thesis, “Probabilistic Methods for Robotic Gas Source Localization”, in February 2025.
Research
My research is focused on the topic of robotic olfaction, particularly on gas source localization (GSL) with mobile, autonomous robots. Some of the projects that I have been developing and maintaining in this area include GADEN, a gas dispersion simulator for ROS, and a repository of ROS implementations of GSL algorithms.
