What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can apply AI and threat-intelligence to IoT/healthcare security—building robust intrusion detection, security labs/datasets, and turning research into real-world impact through strong collaboration.

I’m a Telecommunications Engineer and Ph.D. candidate pursuing preventive and reactive cybersecurity techniques for IoT devices in healthcare environments at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). I lead a multi-year effort to develop a Lightweight, Efficient, Generalizable, and Robust AI-based Intrusion Detection System (IDS) for the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), including dataset analysis for attack detection, network communication work, feature selection, dataset balancing, and training/validation/testing of multi-class supervised ML models.

I also build impact through research and applied DFIR: I earned competitive scholarships for work in digital forensics (Autopsy + Python) and malware analysis, co-directed multiple B.Sc. and M.Sc. theses, and completed research stays at TH Brandenburg (Germany) and TU Delft (The Netherlands). At i2CAT Research Center, I collaborated on healthcare cybersecurity and helped drive a 100% increase in high-impact publications, while leading the design of an IoMT Security Laboratory and a dual-stream traffic generation system for high-fidelity benign and adversarial datasets; I further contributed to threat-mutation detection and frameworks using behavior analytics and cyber threat intelligence (CTI).
