I work on creating algorithms that integrate multimodal signals such as electroencephalogram (EEG) and eye movements, among others, to track user attention and improve the listening experience in real-world settings.

With a background in engineering and a bit of neuroscience, I find hearing care to be an interesting intersection of signal processing, cognitive neuroscience, and real-world impact, especially in improving the quality of life of people with hearing impairments.

I came across the position while looking for research opportunities in EEG signal processing and machine learning, and it caught my attention, even though I was not previously familiar with Oticon/Demant. Its close collaboration with Oticon and strong focus on user-centered innovation aligned perfectly with my long-standing interest in applying AI and brain-based interfaces to real-life challenges.

I’m driven by the possibility of transforming algorithms into tangible improvements in people’s lives. Knowing that my work could make communication more accessible and enriching for those with hearing difficulties gives me a sense of purpose.

I aim to bridge the gap between neural interfaces and consumer technologies by enabling everyday devices, such as hearing aids, to adapt intelligently to users’ cognitive and emotional states. In the long term, I aspire to lead initiatives that promote the widespread adoption of neuroadaptive technologies in daily life.

I prioritize being present with my wife and son. I enjoy movies and music, and from time to time, I also enjoy preparing and eating spicy Mexican food.

I find the recent advances in brain-computer interfaces and neurostimulation particularly exciting. These technologies are opening new possibilities for understanding and interacting with the brain in noninvasive ways. As someone working with EEG and neural decoding, I’m especially inspired by their potential to support mental and cognitive well-being in everyday life.

I hope that science will become more integrative, with greater collaboration across disciplines around the world, to create technologies that truly enhance human well-being.
