Pablo Ubilla Pavez

Hola, Hello, Bonjour! I’m Pablo (or Pavlo).

I’m broadly interested in machine learning and statistics. More specifically, I’m interested in developing methods that help us undertand and protect our natural world.

Right now, I am doing my PhD at Inria Montpellier with the EVERGREEN group, supervised by Diego Marcos and Christophe Botella. My thesis focuses on methods that improve the transferability of Deep Species Distribution Models across space, environment, and species. It is funded by the ANR project EcoControl. I also work closely with Pl@ntNet (download the app if you haven’t already!).

I hold a BSc in Industrial Engineer from Universidad de Chile and a Master’s in Operations Management in the same university, supervised by Charles Thraves. Aside from math, I’ve always been fascinated by the natural world and how evolution has produced such a wide variety of species. To combine this passion with my background, I did a Master’s in Ecology & Data Science at University College London (UCL), supervised by Daniel Maynard. My PhD is an attempt to keep working in this intersection.

Outside of research stuff, I enjoy creating and playing music, bouldering, and eating lettuce. J’essaie d’apprendre le français.
