My passions

Apart from physics, I am a philosophy enthusiast. Ask me about my thoughts on consciousness, materialism, idealism, and God. I also speak Japanese and Spanish fluently.

I completed a Bachelor of Science in Astrophysics from the University of Hawai'i at Manoa.

My background

I was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina. One of my favorite places in the world is the Argentine Patagonia, where I like to camp, hike, and be on the snow.

Professional Experience

I have worked as a Computational Plasma Researcher under the supervision of Dr. Colby Haggerty at the University of Hawai‘i – Institute for Astronomy. My work involves studying collisionless plasma phenomena, such as shocks and magnetic reconnection.

In addition to research, I worked as a Learning Assistant at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Hawai’i at Manoa, where I had the opportunity to tutor and teach introductory physics. I've also taught English to Japanese students on the OkPanda platform and tutored students in Japanese.

I have participated in a Research Experience for Undergraduates program (REU) at the Institute for Astronomy in the summer of 2022 where I partook in research on Magnetic Reconnection with my mentor and gave a talk. Thanks to such work, I have attended an AGU Fall Meeting (American Geophysical Union conference) in Chicago in 2022 where I gave a talk on Guide Field Magnetic Reconnection Outflow Reduction.

Personal Projects

I am working on several projects to deploy apps with third-party AI service providers to leverage their power for new applications.

Some of these projects include a finance app to keep track of expenses and a platform that offers a wide variety of services in one package.
