Interests

Science and Innovation

My research interest is the intersection between data-driven and mechanistic representations of the human heart for the realisation of precision cardiology. My research focuses on developing inference and machine learning technologies that enable the generation of digital twins of the human heart for the realisation of precision medicine through in silico trials.

My publications demonstrate how data can be combined with physiological knowledge to augment information compared to traditional machine learning approaches.

Software and Tools

The tools developed during my research are publicly available after peer-review publication on my GitHub.

  • Generation of (activation and repolarisation) electrophysiological cardiac digital twins with Purkinje networks from 12-lead electrocardiograms: code and publication.
  • Generation of (activation sequence) electrophysiological cardiac digital twins with Purkinje networks from 12-lead electrocardiograms: code and publication.
  • Generation of (activation sequence) electrophysiological cardiac digital twins from 12-lead electrocardiograms: code and publication.
  • Electrocardiogram delineation using deep learning: code and publication.
  • Freezing of gait detection using deep learning: code and publication.

Biography

I am a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Oxford. I graduated as an Informatics Engineer at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in 2014. After one year in industry, I enrolled in the Master's in Artificial Intelligence at the same university (2015-2017), followed by a DPhil in Computer Science at the University of Oxford (2017-2021) within the Computational Cardiovascular Science research group under the supervision of Prof Blanca Rodriguez. During my PhD, I developed statistical methods for generating cardiac digital twins from multimodal clinical data to improve therapeutical and diagnostic decision-making. In May 2021, I started my current post-doc with Prof Blanca Rodriguez on investigating the mechanisms that explain disease progression in post-myocardial infarction and leading the development of cardiac digital twins.
