Summary
Juan Fuentes is a computational neuroscientist and engineer with 11 years of experience bridging signal processing, sensory system modelling, and applied machine learning. Currently a postdoc at Universitat Pompeu Fabra’s Computational Neuroscience Group in Barcelona, he combines academic research with hands-on R&D experience from roles at Cochlear and the Australian Hearing Hub. His background spans DSP, EEG and voice-production modelling, systems administration, and full-stack prototyping, reflecting comfort across experiments, infrastructure, and production code. He teaches statistics and experimental design, and has built practical tools for data analysis in Python, MATLAB and R as well as system-level services earlier in his career. Juan’s interests include phenomenology and music production, which inform an atypical focus on perceptual modelling and adaptive signal processing. He holds a PhD in Computational Neuroscience and an MSc in Electronic Engineering, blending rigorous theory with practical engineering.
