ABOUT ME

 

I did a B.Sc. on Applied Mathematics at ITAM (Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México), where I had the opportunity to do an internship at the Fraunhofer Institute For Digital Media Technology (Fraunhofer IDMT), through a DAAD scholarship program.

In 2015 I finished a M.SC. on Computer Science at University of Saarland through the support of the International Max Planck School For Computer Science (IMPRS). I did my Master thesis at the Machine Learning Group under the supervision of Prof. Matthias Hein, where I explored extensions of spectral clustering on signed graphs.

In 2015 I joined the Maching Learning Group at University of Saarland. My general research interests are machine learning, optimization and statistics.
