Since August 2017 I'm a visiting researcher at Facebook in Menlo Park, CA. My research interests are in motion estimation and video understanding. In particular I'm interested in exploring and modeling how the semantics and the motion of the scene are related.

Short Bio

Before joining Facebook I was a postdoc at Perceiving Systems from February 2015 to July 2017. Before, I got my PhD from UMass Amherst, where my advisor was Erik Learned-Miller. My thesis was on motion estimation under long displacements and large changes in the scene. During that time I was lucky to collaborate with great people at Adobe Research, where we created an application to video editing, and also here at MPI. I also interned at Apple, with the Voice Over team using computer vision to make their technology accessible for people who are visually impaired. Before, I got my masters from Brown University thanks to a fellowship from the Caja Madrid Foundation. In 2007 I got my bachelors in computer engineering from the University of Granada, in Spain, where I'm originally from.
