About Me

I am an Associate Professor at Mondragon University. My research interests include software engineering and software testing areas, mostly related to the application of these to complex software systems such as Cyber-Physical Systems, AI-based systems, and Generative AI models. My work is very industry-oriented, collaborating with different companies to address real-world challenges.

I earned my PhD in Software Engineering at Mondragon University in 2017. I work on search-based software testing, the test oracle problem, regression testing, and more. I am involved in several exciting projects including InnoGuard and TRUST4AI.

Lecturing

I teach at master's level, although my teaching duties may vary depending on the academic year. During my teaching, I try to connect theory with industry practice.
