🧠 AI Researcher & Software Engineer · Neuromorphic NLP

AI PhD Candidate at CiTIUS (USC). I build neuromorphic architectures — spiking (SNN/LIF) and continuous-time (CfC) networks — for clinical NLP and early-risk detection on social media. I pair that research with full-stack engineering, from distributed Rust runtimes to P2P apps and interactive web interfaces.


📊 Research at a Glance

Current line: moving beyond hard top-K routing toward biologically-motivated gating (spiking & continuous-time) for interpretable, time-resolved mental-health modeling.

🚀 Featured Projects

🧠 Neuromorphic NLP — current research line

⚡ Mixture-of-Symptoms (MoS)

Neuromorphic symptom routing (LIF spikes / CfC) for early depression detection on social media. Replaces collapse-prone top-K routing with per-user, per-symptom gating anchored to BDI-II — interpretability and accuracy above the RNN ceiling (F1 .617 on eRisk 2022).

📈 When Topics Spike

A neuromorphic topic model for time-resolved theme evolution and clinical grounding in early-risk text collections. Brings spiking dynamics to temporal topic modeling so themes emerge — and fade — over a user's timeline.

⚙️ AI Research Infrastructure — the Nous · Soma · Chronos ecosystem

Pipeline-and-filter framework with hash-based caching for reproducible, modular ML experiments. Compute once, reuse everywhere — across runs and across teams. Published in SoftwareX (2026).

🧬 Soma

The next step beyond LabChain: a computational-graph runtime in Rust (+ PyO3) for research pipelines and agent orchestration. Bayesian/PBT studies, distributed workers, MCP server. You think it, Soma somatizes it.

RustPyO3DistributedMCP

Private · in development

An exploratory temporal vector database in Rust that treats time as a native geometric dimension of embedding space — storing vectors as trajectories, not snapshots (velocity, drift, causal retrieval).

🌐 Decentralized & Social

🦊 bored

A decentralized (P2P) social network that runs as a node on your own device — no ads, no manipulative algorithm, local-first and ephemeral by default. Semantic discovery computed on-device. Made in Galicia 🌿.
