Research

My research interests lie at the intersection of Bayesian statistics, probabilistic modelling and reinforcement learning. This page gathers current preprints, thesis work, and recent academic presentations.

Current Directions

Preference and ranking models

Current work on two-level Plackett-Luce models for route choice and smart mobility platforms, with an emphasis on interpretable Bayesian inference.

Robust sequential decision-making

Ongoing work on adversarial observations in probabilistic state-space models for robust reinforcement learning.

Predictive control for social robotics

Collaborative work on Bayesian predictive control models for social robots in ASD therapy settings.

Preprints and Papers

A Two-Level Plackett-Luce Model for Preference Modeling in Smart Mobility Platforms

Under revision, with a preprint available on arXiv. The paper studies preference modelling for route choice through a two-level Plackett-Luce formulation.

Adversarial Observations in Probabilistic State-Space Models for Robust Reinforcement Learning

Work in progress on robustness in sequential probabilistic models for reinforcement learning.

Graduate Theses

Application of Information Theory in Supervised Learning

Final thesis at the University of Valladolid, graded 9.8/10 with Honors, exploring how information-theoretic ideas can inform supervised learning.

Variational Quantum Algorithms: A First Step in Adiabatic Quantum Computing

Final thesis at the University of Valladolid, graded 9.4/10, on variational quantum algorithms and their relationship with adiabatic quantum computing.
