I’m a Computer Science Researcher and Associate Professor in Creative AI, working as part of the Human-Centred Technology Lab. My work focuses on investigating the development of novel models of human-computer co-creation, by applying techniques from different areas of AI to create systems that support people in their creative process.

I have been involved in several research projects; most notably, for the production of the West End musical “Beyond the Fence”, conceived as the world’s first computer generated musical, and the TV documentary “Computer Says Show” filmed by Sky Arts, an art-oriented television channel broadcasted in the UK.

I hold a BEng in Computer Science from Icesi University (Cali, Colombia), and an MSc in Software Engineering and a PhD in Computing from the School of Mathematical and Computer Sciences (MACS) at Heriot-Watt University (Edinburgh, Scotland). I have also held consultancy and Research Associate appointments at BAE systems, Imperial College London and Goldsmiths, University of London, and a Senior Lecturer appointment at Monash University in Australia.
