I am a computer scientist. I build technologies that benefit from advancements in Natural Language Processing and Signal Processing to address problems on speech recognition in realistic scenarios. Such technologies have been tested in settings targeting people with motor impairments as the final users, supporting their independent living.
Supporting the development of critical thinking and informatics literacy in our community. We promote the participation of children through various entertaining, learning activities.
Empowering women on the exploitation of IT tools for developing real solutions.

I come from Guayaquil, Ecuador. I obtained a Bachelor in Computer Engineering at Escuela Superior Politécnica del Litoral (ESPOL). During my time at the university, I worked on web technologies and various IT projects at the Information Technologies Center (CTi) under the supervision of Katherine Chiluiza. From 2007 I was also a lecturer at undergraduate courses (HCI, A/V processing, multimedia systems) at ESPOL university. In 2009 I moved to Italy where I pursued a Master in Human Language Technologies and Interfaces, at the University of Trento (UNITN). For the final project I worked with Alberto Lavelli and Silvana Bernaola on the topic of Person Attributes, at the HLT unit of Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK). In 2016 I received my degree of PhD in Computer Science also from the UNITN, working with Maurizio Omologo on multi-microphone distant speech recognition. This latter work was developed at the SHINE unit of the FBK.
