Note: Since February 2020 I am on leave from UPC and full time at
Amalfi Analytics.
The UPC email address will continue working. I will not be able to take any interns or PhD students
in the foreseeable future.
I am currently supervising the Ph.D. thesis of
- Gilles Blondel (co-supervised with Marta Arias), on inferring and reasoning about causality with causal graphs.
- Martí Zamora, on algorithms for analyzing temporally annotated healthcare records,
an industrial doctorate at
Amalfi Analytics.
- Juan González (co-supervised with Aleix Ruiz de Villa), on efficient algorithms for causal inference from
observational and interventional data.
- Xiao Zhang (co-supervised with Jaume Baixeries), on healthcare analytics.
I have supervised the Ph.D. theses of
- Javier Fernández de la Rosa (2022. Main supervisor: Luke Bornn).
An industrial doctorate on sports analytics at
FC Barcelona (Barça).
- Rafael Mena-Yedra (2020, co-supervised with Jordi Casas),
an industrial doctorate on traffic prediction and management at
Aimsun. Topic: Using Machine Learning to predict traffic in road and urban networks.
- Matteo Ruffini (2019), on learning latent-variable models
and applications to healthcare data.
- Josep Ll. Berral (2013)
(co-supervised with Jordi Torres),
currently postdoc researcher at Barcelona Supercomputing Center.
