Bio

I am a research scientist at the IBM Research Europe (Dublin Research Lab) working in the areas of End to End AI (e2eai), analytics, datamining, machine learning, reinforcement learning, automated decisions, and automated AI. More information of my work in automated AI (AutoMLPipeline.jl and Lale.jl) can be found in IBM Research main page. I am also working as one of the PIs with 30 partners of a 3-year (2024-2026) project for Pan-European 6G Federated Infrastructure Flagship Project called SUstainable federation of Research Infrastructures for Scaling-up Experimentation in 6G (SUNRISE-6G). Our work tasks are related to the implementation of end-to-end AI that covers orchestration of infrastructure, model training and deployment as well as observability and drift detection to support federation of 6G testbeds.

Education and Training

I finished my Doctor of Engineering degree from the Toyohashi University of Technology in Japan (2005). I have a Master's degree in Computer Science majoring in Artificial Intelligence (Ateneo de Manila University, 1995) and a Bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics (cum laude, valedictorian) at the University of the Philippines in the Visayas (1991).

I used to work as a technical staff for two years in the Neuroinformatics Lab of RIKEN Brain Science Institute, Japan. I was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the National University of Singapore and the National Neuroscience Institute working on diverse topics such as context-aware reasoning, datamining models for activity recognition in smarthome environment, detecting biomarkers for Parkinson's Disease by image processing of fMRI and DTI images, and automated diagnosis of movement disorder for intelligent healthcare. Moreover, I held an Asst. Professorship for a total of 6 years in the University of the Philippines and Ateneo de Manila University. In 2007, I was awarded the Outstanding Young Scientists in Information and Computer Science by the Department of Science and Technology (Philippines).
