Vicenç Gómez

Associate professor in the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Group at UPF, which he joined with a transnational academic career grant (FP7 Marie Curie Actions) in 2014. He later obtained a Ramón y Cajal fellowship. Prior to this, he worked for more than six years as a research scientist in the machine learning group at the Radboud University Nijmegen, the Netherlands.

His main research interests are probabilistic inference and reinforcement learning. He works on developing novel machine learning methods derived from first principles and understanding their theoretical properties, as well as their application for modelling, understanding and improving the functioning of networked systems.
