Senior research engineer in computational archaeology at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center – Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) with an AI4Science fellowship, associate researcher at the Ramsey Laboratory for Environmental Archaeology from the University of Toronto Mississauga and at the Landscape Archaeology Research Group from the Catalan Institute of Classical Archaeology (ICAC). I obtained my PhD on classical archaeology at the ICAC of the University of Rovira i Virgili. Likewise, I am a telecommunications engineer from the University of the Basque Country with a master's degree in computer security from the International University of La Rioja. I have worked as a product engineer in electronic design, and as a software developer in web and mobile applications and in cloud computing. Also, I have collaborated in different archaeological sites in Mexico and Catalonia.

During the last years, I have had a deep interest in integrating artificial intelligence (AI) technologies into the archaeological field. Therefore, I developed my career in computational archaeology, focused on the specialized application of deep learning and remote sensing in archaeology, within 2D and 3D computer vision approaches. My focal point has not been limited to a specific area, such as large-scale archaeological site detection. Instead, I developed AI models across all fields of archaeology, from satellite to microscope imagery. Moreover, my work at the BSC-CNS, one of the first European AI Factories selected by the EuroHPC JU, allow me to advance in other research areas such as natural language processing and high-performance computing.

My primary motivation is to design, advise, provide strategies and guide, based on my solid academic background and practical experience in computational archaeology, the present and future AI research on archaeology. My background as telecommunications engineer provided me with a strong foundation to explore these technologies, further enhanced by ongoing advancements in the field. My long-term goal is to advance my expertise in cutting-edge computational research and use AI potential to solve complex real-world challenges like those typical of archaeological processes.
