About

I'm a student of Mathematics and Physics at University of Barcelona and an AI enthusiast. I'm willing to understand the world through a numerical and descriptive point of view. I am deeply fascinated by intricate and complex systems found in nature, as well as by AI. In a future I aim to contribute to the comprehension and development of these.

Some quick info about me

  • Birthday: 17 March 2003
  • Mothertongue: Spanish & Catalan
  • City: Barcelona, Spain
  • Age: 22
  • Fields: Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science

In addition to my studies I often find myself enjoying sport, languages, reading and almost anything. In particular I practice cycling (MTB) with regularity, but I also enjoy running or swimming.
I read almost anything I come across with, but I indulge myself with classical works, and divulgation the most. Among the works I'd like the most are El infinito en un junco, Moby Dick, those of Siddhartha Mukherjee or Sapiens
