About me
My name is Joan Puigcerver Pérez, I'm twenty-three, I was born in Pedreguer (Valencia). I studied Computer Science at the Polytechnic University of Valencia and I am now enrolled in the Master in Artificial Intelligence, Pattern Recognition and Digital Imaging. I am specially interested in Machine Learning and specially Pattern Recognition.
During the summfer of 2012 (July-October) I was working in Mountain View (CA) as a Software Engineer Intern at Google. My work was focused on Optical Character Recognition at Google Research.
During the academic year 2011-2012 I enjoyed an Erasmus scholarship at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm (Sweden), where I took some courses in Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Distributed Systems.
From October 2009 to July 2011, I worked as a student research assistant in the Pattern Recognition and Human Language Technology group at the Institute of Computer Technology. My work was focused in the handwritten text recognition, one of the applications of Machine Learning and Pattern Recognition.
I am interested in different fields of computing: machine learning, pattern recognition, algorithms, distributed systems, cryptography, free software, etc. I'm Student Member of Free Software Foundation since February 2008 and I also collaborate translating into Catalan the GNU Project webpage (look at my Savannah profile). Apart from this, I give some of my CPU cycles to severals scientific projects linked to the BOINC network.
In this website you can found my best academic works and some mentions (see Education), my translations made for the GNU Project (FSF/GNU), and some personal projects. If you want to contact me, send an email to

Apart from computing I'm also interested in Photography (check out my Flickr gallery), Science (specially physics & maths), Music (I used to play the dolçaina, but now I have little free time...) and Film.
