Research experience
Data-driven analysis of dynamical systems
Coauthored mHAVOK, a multichannel, data-driven extension of the Hankel Alternative View of Koopman (HAVOK) algorithm. Preprint available.
Koopman operator theory & Open quantum systems
Using the spectral properties of the Koopman operator, developed an operator-theoretic framework for reconstructing Hamiltonian parameters in open quantum systems. Preprint available.
Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) Project
Led an international team of students from USM (Chile) to study bound states of the Yukawa potential in quantum mechanics using Hamiltonian Monte Carlo algorithms.
Accelerated material design using machine learning
Developed data-driven models using feature engineering and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to predict mechanical properties of alloy microstructures. Supervised by Dr. Juan A. Nolazco-Flores.
Mexican Center for Research in Mathematics (CIMAT)
Attended the 2023 CIMAT–Penn State Calculus Workshop, an intensive program centered on solving real-analysis problems in collaborative international teams.
Work Experience
Iberdrola México (Renewable Energies)
Industry–academic research project focused on forecasting renewable energy generation using advection–diffusion models and physics-informed neural networks (PINNs).
The Learning Gate (Education)
Researched state-of-the-art methods and algorithms in data science, producing articles and tutorials for The Learning Gate, an ITESM institutional platform offering online courses in data science.
Leadership
ITESM Leader with Human Sense Program
Led a team of 10 peers in supporting nonprofit organizations to deliver well-managed, impactful community service projects. Recognized with the Social Merit Award for outstanding social responsibility and civic engagement.
ULEAD Diploma
Pursuing the ULEAD Diploma, an additional distinction to the professional degree recognizing high-achieving students who demonstrate change-making leadership and sustained commitment to social impact.
Eugenio Garza Sada Global Leadership Program
Developed ethical decision-making and teamwork abilities through active participation in a national leadership program, applying lessons from weekly workshops to my collaborative research.
Community development
Engaged with 20 peers and Topos FC (a nonprofit) by refurbishing two football fields and developing a philanthropic donation webpage to support visually impaired athletes.
