I am a first year PhD student at the Large-Scale Data and Systems Group (LSDS) of the Imperial College London, under the supervision of Prof. Peter Pietzuch.

My research addresses the design and implementation of secure, high-performance, cloud-native runtimes. I am also interested in stochastic modeling, and the mathematics of randomness. Most of my work is open-source and available on Github.

I received a MSc in advanced mathematics and mathematical engineering from the School of Mathematics of the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC). Previously, I also received a BSc in mathematics and a BSc in electrical engineering, from the same university.
