Curriculum Vitae (pdf)

Introduction:
I am currently a Ramon y Cajal fellow in the Color in Context group (CIC) in the Computer Vision Center in Barcelona, associated to the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. My main research interest is in applying color imaging theory to the field of computer vision: color constancy, color naming, object recognition, recoloring algorithms, color feature detection and color feature extraction.
