Where I am

Currently, I'm a lecturer at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, and also a member of the Volume Visualization and Artificial Intelligence and the Centre Llenguatge i Computacio research groups at the University of Barcelona







Research Interests

My research interests are mainly focused on recommender systems, and more specificaly conversational case-based recommenders and group recommender systems. Among others, some of my current working topics are learning classifier systems. Some research areas that I’m involved or interested are:

  • Case-Based Reasoning
  • Conversational Recommenders
  • Group Recommender Systems
  • User feedback
  • Personalization
  • Natural Language Processing
  • Information Retrieval
  • Learning Classifier Systems

Teaching
Teaching

I'm currently teaching:

  • Introduction to programming at the Computer Science Grade at the University of Barcelona
  • Introduction to Machine Learning at the Master of Artificial Intelligence (UPC-UB-URV), in this course I am using as a support DataCamp
  • Data Structures at the Grade of Computer Science at the University of Barcelona.
  • I also supervise final-year undergraduate projects, master thesis and a couple of PhD students at the University of Barcelona.


My past teaching has included:

  • Introduction to programming at the first course of Computer Science
  • Advanced programming at the second course of Computer Science and multimedia.
  • Distributed programming at the fith course of Computer Science and multimedia.
  • Software Design at the Computer Science Grade.
  • Advanced Databases at the Computer Science Grade.
  • Self-Organizing Agent Systems at the master of Artificial Intelligence
