BSc in Health Science (Nursing), Msc, PhD in Public Health and Environmental Epidemiology
I am an early career researcher interested in developing advanced statistical methods for noncommunicable/infectious diseases in people exposed to environmental and socioeconomic factors. This page is a great opportunity for sharing my researches, published manuscripts, scripts, and R codes. Currently, I am a Postdoctoral researcher fellow at ISGlobal - Barcelona Institute for Global Health, as part of the Biomedical Data Science team, and I am responsible for END-VOC epidemiological data analytics by applying machine learning and artificial intelligence.
