About
I'm a last year student of Mathematics and Physics by the University of Barcelona. I'm passionate about doing things and being useful, I always try to spend my time efficiently and wisely. I'm looking forward to pursue a career where I have an impact in the world, probably through research. I'm an AI enthusiast, and understanding the mechanisms that rule the world brings me joy. I like to develop side project to ease or improve my everyday life, for example making my house domotic or learning languages. I'm passionate about sport and communities, I also believe on manual labour as a way to form bonds both with people and with the surroundings.
Undergraduate Student
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 go trail running with regularity, but I also enjoy mountain biking, hiking or swimming.
I read almost anything I come across with, but I indulge myself mostly with classical works, and divulgation. Among the works I'd like the most are Nexus, El infinito en un junco, Moby Dick, those of Siddhartha Mukherjee or Sapiens

Summary
Miguel Sánchez-Palomino
Willing to learn about everything and motivated to learn new techniques and technologies for problem-solving. (By now) I have little experience in different fields, but steadily I move towards a more populated resumee

Education
Dual degree in Mathematics and Physics
2021 - Present
University of Barcelona
With honours in:
- Scientific Programming
- Thermodynamics
- Theoretical Mechanics
- Astrophysics and cosmology
Degree in Artificial Intelligence
