Biografía

Soy estudiante de doctorado en el Centro de Automática y Robótica (CAR UPM-CSIC) y miembro del Grupo de Control Inteligente. Estoy dirigido por el Prof. Fernando Matía y el Prof. Luis Fernando D'Haro.

Mis intereses en el campo de la investigación son el PNL y la Gestión del Diálogo (por ejemplo, el análisis de sentimientos y los agentes de conversación generativa).
