I am a "Ramón y Cajal" senior researcher on data privacy at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain. My research attempts to leverage mature concepts and techniques amply utilized in information theory, convex optimization and stochastic estimation, to tackle the increasingly controversial problem of privacy in modern information systems from a perspective that is mathematically systematic and adheres to the principles of engineering optimization.
My current research interests include the anonymization of static and dynamic data with syntactic and differential privacy guarantees, as well as the generation of differentially-private synthetic data. I am particularly interested in graph and trajectory databases.
