I hold a PhD in Computer Science, with a primary research focus on artificial intelligence applied to audio analysis and natural language processing. My doctoral dissertation concentrated on Automated Audio Captioning, a multimodal task aimed at developing systems capable of generating natural language sentences to describe audio files.

I am currently working on the TIRIS-SILENCE project, which aims to study and extract information from audio files recorded in extreme environments such as Mars.
