I am a Senior Researcher at the Madrid Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory (MadHCILab) and Assistant Professor on Human-Computer Interaction and Software Engineering at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros Informáticos of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (ETSIINF, UPM). My background includes teaching on Programming, HCI and Game Design subjects at Universidad CEU San Pablo, and the Centro Universitario de Tecnología, Arte y Diseño (U-TAD) of the Universidad Camilo Jose Cela. My research is mainly focused on Artificial Intelligence and User Experience on Games, in particular on Inteligent Virtual Agents, Multi-Agent Systems, and Human-Agent Interaction in real-time scenarios.
