I am a third year PhD student in Computer Science at Cornell University advised by Ari Juels.
I study the tension between privacy and transparency in AI, blockchain and governance systems.
I completed my undergraduate at UPC (Barcelona), where I double majored in Mathematics and Electrical Engineering.
