I come from that little country in the middle of the world, Ecuador. In October 2019, I joined the Internet Data Lab (IDLab) at the University of Antwerp (UAntwerp) as Assistant Professor (tenure track). I received my PhD at the Center for Processing Speech and Images (ESAT-PSI) of KU. Leuven under the advice of Prof. Tinne Tuytelaars and Prof. Luc de Raedt in April 2015. Earlier I received my engineering degree from Escuela Superior Politecnica del Litoral in Ecuador. During my Ph.D. I conducted research on understanding how groups of elements from the image (objects, object-parts, image regions, trajectories, etc.) interact and how the relationships between them can be exploited to improve artificial visual perception problems. This fueled my interest towards investigating exploratory/explanatory models that can identify informative intermediate representations and use them as means to justify the predictions that they make.
