Computer Scientist

My research interests span Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Safety AI, and Computational Imaging. In particular, I’m interested in developing safe and efficient vision systems and machine-learning models that can efficiently recognize and understand human actions and activities, objects, scenes, and events while also obtaining additional benefits like privacy protection, compression, and robustness.

I got my B. Sc., M. Sc., and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science from Universidad Industrial de Santander, Colombia, in 2015, 2018, and 2022, respectively. I’m a former researcher at the Stanford Vision and Learning Lab (SVL). During my internship at SVL, I was under the supervision of Prof. Juan Carlos Niebles. Currently, I’m Postdoctoral Fellow at KAUST working with Prof. Bernard Ghanem.

In this project, we design the camera lens to perform human pose estimation while preserving users’ privacy.

In this project we developed AgroTIC, a smartphone-based application for the agricultural sector in Colombia aimed at reducing such digital breach through smartphones low-cost and ubiquitous technology.

Research project developed with Ecopetrol S.A., which includes the development of optimization algorithms for time to depth conversion, and development of modules for DesicionSpace Geoscience Software.
