I am a Serra Húnter Fellow (tenure-track lecturer) at the Department of Statistics and Operations Research of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC), and a member of the research group GRBIO. My research focuses on methods and software for clinical trials with multiple endpoints and adaptive platform trials.
