Jorge graduated in Theoretical Physics from the University of Havana (UH), Cuba. He then joined the Center of Molecular Immunology in Havana, a biopharmaceutical institution that develops therapeutic drugs for cancer and autoimmune diseases. He completed his Ph.D. on mathematical models of cellular metabolism in culture, visiting the Beatson Cancer Research Institute (Glasgow, UK) and the Politecnico di Torino (Italy).

Jorge then moved to Paris for a postdoctoral fellowship at ENS, where he worked on the statistical physics of unsupervised representation learning and applications to biological sequences. He was also awarded a PSL Junior Fellowship in Artificial Intelligence. He joins the IPhT on a CNRS "Junior Chair".

Welcome to the IPhT, Jorge!
