PHD RESEARCHER / BARCELONA

Hi, I’m Anna.

Computer vision & generative AI.

I’m a PhD researcher working on diffusion models for medical imaging, exploring how AI can understand and generate visual information.

01 / About

Bio.

My background spans signal processing, machine learning and deep learning, with experience in 3D reconstruction and document understanding. I hold a Master’s in Computer Vision (UAB) and a Bachelor’s in Telecommunications Engineering (UPC), and have worked in industry and research in Barcelona and Lausanne, including LTS5 at EPFL.

Today, I’m a researcher in Eurecat’s Digital Health Unit and a PhD candidate with the AIBA group at Universitat de Barcelona, supervised by Prof. Petia Radeva and Dr. Vicent Ribas. My current work explores generative models and visual synthesis, applied to medical imaging.

MUMINS is a diffusion model that predicts a future medical scan and estimates its uncertainty from a baseline scan.

Explore a MUMINS sample: switch between brain MRI and lung CT, move through the slices, and compare each prediction with its uncertainty map.
