My name is Alberto Jaenal Gálvez, I was born in Málaga (Spain) in 1995. At the present, I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Malaga (Spain) and a researcher in the Machine Perception and Intelligent Robotics group (MAPIR). I am interested in the computer vision research, specifically: 

• Appearance-Based Localization
• Deep Learning (Place Recognition, Holistic Descriptors) 
• Visual Odometry, SLAM, Optical Flow

I have been doing research since October 2016 when I joined the MAPIR group as a M.Sc. student. I finished my Degree in Electronics, Robotics and Mechatronics (a general engineering which covers mechanics, electronics, control systems, computer science, etc.) in 2016 and my Master in Mechatronics in 2017, both at the University of Malaga. Since October 2018 I hold a FPU grant from the Spanish government to pursue a PhD in Computer Vision under the supervision of Prof. Javier Gonzalez-Jimenez. 

I am also a musician, I play the violin since I was 7, having played and sung in diverse regional young orchestras and choirs, among other activities.
