I am a Master in Engineering from Universidad de Antioquia.Currently, I am a researcher at the Computer Vision Center (CVC) in Barcelona under the supervision of Ph.D. Alexandra Gomez-Villa, where I explore how diffusion-based approaches can be leveraged for real-world vision problems and for advancing the scientific understanding of visual perception.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Electronics Engineering from Universidad de Antioquia, where I graduated with academic distinction. Throughout my academic journey, I have contributed to open-source projects and coauthored peer-reviewed papers published at international venues such as IJCV, WACV and IARIA.
