About

While portraying a scientific career in Astrophysics, my interests have been focused towards the application of Data Science and Artifical Intelligence to solving scientific problems. I have great experience with Machine Learning and Deep Learning tools using Python and I am very interested in advanced ML methods to leverage model results. I excel on applying diverse methods to make ML models more interpretable, from model agnostic explainability methods to the extraction of KPIs to guide the final user on making informed decisions based on model predictions. I have experience working on a variety of fields, currently working on a project for the early diagnosis and prognosis of diseases with high prevalence on the aged population. I have a huge interest in R&D of new technologies, specially if they are oriented towards the transition to a more sustainable, environmentally respectful world.
