ABOUT
SHORT BIO
I received the B.S degree in computer engineer in 2017 and the M.S degree in computer technologies research in 2018, both from the University of Extremadura (UEx), Mérida, Spain. I got my PhD with CUM LAUDE distinction and international mention in research related to light and color management in real-time rendering of 3D scenarios in March 2022 at the Centro Universitario de Mérida, Spain under the supervision of Dr. Pedro José Pardo Fernández. Currently, I am working at the Justus-Liebig University under the supervision of Prof. Karl Gegenfurtner as a PostDoc Researcher in the ERC project "Color 3.0: An object-oriented approach to color", working on user perception and color constancy in virtual reality devices.
RESEARCH TOPICS
My research spans several areas of visual computing, in particular: hyperspectral images, color appearance and virtual reality, with a focus on applying perceptually-motivated solutions. The main objective of my research area is the improvement of the visual appearance in virtual reality devices through computer techniques.
