Current position

Artificial Intelligence Consultant. Helmholtz Artificial Intelligente cooperation unit, member of Stefan Kesselheim's consultant team located at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre.

Previous positions

  • Post-doc at Forschungszentrum Jülich, granted by the Global Neutron Scientists (GNeuS) project. This project receives funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Grant Agreement N°101034266. Developed novel methodologies for interpreting Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) data by means of Machine Learning algorithms.
  • Post-doc granted by CONICET at the Neutron Physics department of the Bariloche Atomic Center (CAB-CNEA), Bariloche, Argentina. Studied Deep Inelastic Neutron Scattering (DINS) and Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS). Retrieved total cross section and diffraction information from spectra collected at the VESUVIO beamline at the ISIS pulsed neutron source, UK. Also simulated SANS images of the V4 SANS instrument to be installed at LAHN-RA10, and trained machine learning models for image classification. All our developments for neutron spectral analysis were programmed in Python, and were focused on the MANTID framework.

Education

  • PhD in physics: FaMAF-UNC (2019). Thesis title: "State-of-the-art applications of Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Raman Scattering with low and high resolution"
  • Master in Applied Statistic: thesis under development.
  • Licenciate in physics (roughly equivalent to a master in science degree): FaMAF-UNC (2013). Thesis title: "Use of Principal Component Analysis in the study of the fine structure of X-Ray Resonant Raman Scattering spectra"
