Research Associate
My background is in Telecommunications Engineering, Computer Science and Biophysics. My current research interests are novel 3D biological data visualisation tools (Virtual Reality), data processing (pre-processing and post-processing) and data analysis (including AI) for Super-resolution and other advanced microscopes.
I hold a Marie Curie cofund postdoctoral fellowship, participated by the European Commission and the Government of Catalonia. I am also a Trinity College postdoctoral society member.
This fellowship is very Technology Transfer intensive and it is being developed between the LeeLab (Deparment of Chemistry) and Visyon (VR Catalan company).
I love martial arts, and my idols are Newton, Einstein and Bruce Lee!
Oh, I forgot! I've just created my own Start-up company ViRe Instruments S.L.
