I am a Research Scientist at FAIR , working on Embodied AI. Previously, I completed my Ph.D. at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) of MIT, advised by Professor Antonio Torralba. Before that, I obtained a double degree in Computer Science and Telecommunications at the CFIS program of UPC.
I am interested in building agents that can assist and collaborate with humans. My research focuses in developing agents that can understand and anticipate human goals, and coordinate with them in performing complex tasks. I also study how to represent humans in simulation environments, including generating realistic motions and plausible high-level behaviors.
If you are interested in these areas, and would like to collaborate, or intern in my team, reach out!
