Pablo A. Millan Arias I am a postdoctoral researcher working under the supervision of Dr. Lila Kari . My main research areas are machine learning and bioinformatics. In particular, self-supervised learning for taxonomic identification and biologically inspired foundation models. I am also passionate about Information Theory and Theoretical Computer Science.
Huge fan of América de Cali and Colombian soccer national team . Amateur runner in the pursuit of a sub-90 minutes half-marathon and sub-3:30 marathon.
