Dr. Carlos Gómez Gonzalez is a STARS (MSCA-COFUND) postdoctoral fellow at the Earth Sciences department of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC-ES). He holds a Ph.D. in Science from the University of Liège (Belgium) where he carried out an interdisciplinary doctoral thesis at the interface of Computer Vision and Astrophysics. With his multidisciplinary background at the interface of software development, machine learning and scientific data science, he joined the Computational Earth Sciences group at the BSC-ES to establish a research line on Artificial Intelligence for Earth Sciences. In CONFESS he will work, together with Dr. Tourigny, in the development of the biomass burning empirical model, that he will generate using machine learning algorithms.
