About me

I am a post-doctoral research associate at the Terrier Team at University of Glasgow, working on financial asset recommendations with Prof. Iadh Ounis, Prof. Craig Macdonald and Dr. Richard McCreadie. Previously, I obtained a PhD in computer science at the Information Retrieval Group at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. I developed my thesis, titled "Contact recommendation in social networks: algorithmic models, diversity and network evolution", under the supervision of Prof. Pablo Castells.

My research interests are recommender systems, information retrieval, social networks and multi-armed bandits. Currently, the main focus of my work is the definition of effective and explainable recommendation models for asset recommendation in the financial domain.

My doctoral research was focused on people-to-people recommendation, where I explored the development of new recommendation algorithms based on information retrieval models, as well as considering new perspectives beyond accuracy in the development and evaluation of contact recommendation methods, such as the effects of recommending new links on the evolution of the structural properties and the flow of information through the network. I also studied the use of multi-armed bandit approaches for interactive recommendation.
