I am a Ph.D. student at the Machine Learning Department at Carnegie Mellon University. I work with Prof. Ameet Talwalkar on ways of democratizing Machine Learning, particularly through Federated Learning. Prior to joining CMU, I graduated from Universidad de los Andes, Colombia, as a Systems Engineer. There, I worked with Prof. Rubby Casallas and Prof. Marcela Hernández.

News:

I presented a poster
at SysML 2018.

I presented our initial work on non-linear Federated Learning through the use of kernelized methods.

The poster was pink.

I have been
accepted at CMU!

I will start my studies on August, 2017, working with Prof. Ameet Talwalkar.
