I completed my B.Eng and M.Eng in Telecommunications Engineering, and I received my Ph.D. in learning analytics and educational data mining from Universidad Carlos III of Madrid while working as a researcher at IMDEA Networks Institute. In each one of these three degrees, I was a recipient of an Extraordinary Award for the Best Academic Transcript of my class. During this time, I completed two research periods of three months each, the first one at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in RELATE lab with David E. Pritchard and the second one at the University of Edinburgh with Dragan Gašević. Then, I completed a postdoctoral appointment at the MIT Teaching Systems Lab with Justin Reich, at the MIT Playful Journey Lab with Yoon Jeon Kim, and at the MIT Education Arcade with Eric Klopfer, and still remain affiliated and actively collaborating with them. I also held industry appointments at Multimedia Vocento as audiovisual intern, Accenture as a software engineer, and ExoClick as a data scientist, combining experience in academia, research institutions and business companies. In July 2019, I joined the University of Murcia as a senior researcher funded by highly competitive Spanish federal fellowships. Moreover, in July 2021, I started as Associate Professor at the Software Engineering and Artificial Intelligence Department of the Complutense University of Madrid, but then joined again the University of Murcia in February of 2022 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Information and Communications Engineering. His work lies within the intersection of data and human-computer interaction, where he has worked mainly in online learning and games, but also across other contexts such as social networks or online advertising. He applies technology, analytical approaches and machine learning to understand human behavior and improve these contexts. He has experience over the entire data science process, from data capture, data tidying, feature engineering, exploratory analytics, machine learning and data-driven applications. My research has been highly successful, as I have received more than 20 academic/research awards and fellowships (such as the BBVA Award as Outstanding Young CS Researcher or a Humboldt Research Fellowship). Moreover, I have co-authored over 100scientific publications in high impact venues (like for example Science, Computers & Education, Computers in Human Behavior, or Future Generation Computer Systems). I have currently received more than 2100 citations and have a h-index of 23.
