Welcome

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Advanced Signal Processing Group, Dept. of Communications Engineering, University of Cantabria, Spain. My research interests include machine learning and signal processing; in particular online machine learning, kernel methods, Gaussian processes, multivariate statistical analysis, and their application to pattern recognition, adaptive filtering, tracking, source separation, and system identification.
