Diego Vaca

a Short introduction

I´m a predoctoral researcher with a strong interest in personality, individual differences, and situational perception and their impact on mental health disorders. I would like to dedicate my career to exploring how our perception of situations and environments can influence our mental well-being.

My current research focuses on using machine learning techniques to better understand situational perception and its relationship to the course and development of depressive symptoms. At the IDlab, we strongly believe that this approach has the potential to provide new insights into the complex interactions between perception, cognition, personality traits, and mental health, help improve diagnosis, and the development of novel treatments for those who are affected.

I´m currently working under the supervision of David Gallardo and Sergio Escalera and I´m passionate about advancing our understanding of situational perception and its role in mental health and well-being, and I am eager to share my work and collaborate with others who share this interest.
