Welcome to my webpage! My name is Edgar and I am a La Caixa Fellow 2023. This will allow me to study Part III (MASt on Pure Mathematics) at University of Cambridge during the academic year 2023-2024.
I graduated in Maths and Computer Science at UPC (Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya) in Barcelona. My undergrad studies were sponsored by CFIS-UPC.
During the academic year 2022-2023 I visited Prof. MohammadTaghi for my final degree project at University of Maryland.
I'm interested in areas in the intersection of maths and computer science, that include Game Theory, Combinatorics, Theory of Computation and others.
I love solving problems (and creating them), teaching, sci-fi and mountain sports.

Work experience
|
Summer 2022 I was an intern at the Summer Research program in London. I did an individual research project for 10 weeks on stochastic optimization and Reinforcement Learning. |
|
Summer 2021 Internship of 3 months at Xanadu Trading, a company that trades in the derivative markets using a fully automated high frequency algorithm. I was employed in the software team and coded high efficiency and robust algorithms to be deployed to production. |
|
Summer 2020 Summer internship in the software team in a startup based in Barcelona. Speech recognition and online platform with customers interaction. Had to startup a section from scratch that can be checked here. Reached +50k visitors/month in less than 3 months. |
|
Summer 2019 Summer internship in the software team. Research in algorithms and update of UI and databases products. The company focus in support products for the automobile sector (engineering). |
Others and achievements
I was mentored by Ferran Alet in an introduction to Machine Learning research.
I participate in competitive programming competitions, achieving top 1000 in Google's Code Jam and 2 participations in SWERC-ICPC regionals, winning a bronze medal on it.
While in higschool I won a bronze and silver medal in Maths Spanish Olympiad, a silver in Informatics Spanish Olympiad and a bronze in Physics Spanish Olympiad.
