Hi there!

Coke-tap with my buddy John Pemberton

I am a Graduate Research Assistant in the Video and Image Processing Laboratory (VIPER) and the Computational Imaging Laboratory (CIL) in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at Purdue University, under the direction of Professor Edward J. Delp and Professor Mireille Boutin. I am also a M.S. student in ECE at Purdue University. I am the Public Relations Director of Project Rhea, and the Chair for the Social Committee of the ECE Graduate Student Association.

I received the B.S. in Superior Telecommunications Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), in Barcelona (Spain). I worked as a Visiting Scholar/Researcher in the VIPER lab during my last year of undergrad.

If you have read until here you're fine. Go outside if it's sunny, play soccer, or just take a walk. If you're taking a break from studying/working or you like to procrastinate here's some more information about my work at Purdue:
