About me

I am a Ph.D. student and a graduate research assistant in the College of Information and Computer Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst under the supervision of Subhransu Maji in the Computer Vision Lab. Previously, I spent three years as a graduate research assistant under the supervision of Pablo Arbeláez in the Biomedical Computer Vision Group at the Universidad de Los Andes, where I got my Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering. I got my Bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering from Universidad del Norte in Barranquilla, Colombia.

My research interests focus on finding effective ways to combine human effort, computational effort, and statistical estimation to reduce the cost of deriving scientific outcomes. In particular, I have experience designing data-efficient solutions using AI and human-in-the-loop in novel domains such as biology, remote sensing, astronomy, medicine, and chemistry.
