I am a PhD candidate in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of California, Irvine, where I am advised by Hamid Jafarkhani. My research is focused on making distributed algorithms work in communication-constrained networks, with an emphasis on privacy-preserving Machine Learning. I derive theoretical bounds and demonstrate my results with practical implementations. This includes algorithms for Federated Learning and Decentralized Control.

More broadly, I am interested in optimization, information theory and AI.

Before joining UCI, I graduated from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya with a double degree in Mathematics and Electrical Engineering as part of the CFIS program, and a MS in Advanced Mathematics and Mathematical Engineering, focused on discrete mathematics and information theory.

For my undergrad thesis I worked with the Communications Architectures and Research Section at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, helping build the next-generation space radios.
