Research / Investigación

Associate Professor at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM). Previously, I held a post-doctoral research grant associated to the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI), where I worked with Prof. Arjen de Vries. In November 2012, I defended my PhD dissertation under the supervision of Prof. Pablo Castells and Dr. Iván Cantador at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. The title of my thesis was "Recommender system performance evaluation and prediction: an information retrieval perspective".

National Project (TIN2011-28538-C02-01) Coordinated project with University of Granada, led by the IR Group at Autónoma University of Madrid.
The Predict project addresses the extension of information access technologies towards the incorporation of new dimensions, namely novelty and diversity, subjectivity, context, and time, as essential aspects of information access effectiveness and tasks that are not captured in traditional Information Retrieval (IR) paradigms and models, in order to enhance the quality, effectiveness, and user satisfaction with retrieval systems, in further ways than state of the art technologies and theories in the field currently procure. The research focuses on these problems within the specific scope of personalized Information Retrieval and Recommender Systems.
