I am a PhD student in the Department of Computer and Information Sciences at the University of Strathclyde, Scotland, where I am a member of the Mathematically Structured Programming Group, under the supervision of Jules Hedges and Neil Ghani. Prior to that, I did a MSc in Applied Mathematics, during which I worked with Rocío González Díaz and the CIMA group on category theoretical approaches to topological data analysis, and a BSc in Physics and Material Engineering, both at the University of Sevilla, Spain.

My PhD is on category theory applied to machine learning, optimization and control theory problems. I am interested in cybernetic systems, graphical calculi, and foundations of reinforcement learning.
