Thank you for visiting my personal website! I obtained my BS in applied mathematics at ITAM in Mexico. I've been fortunate to receive guidance and mentorship from professors Miguel Angel Mota, Mauricio Romero and Edgar Francisco Roman-Rangel. I am interested in rigorous cutting-edge statistical tools and frameworks for reliable machine learning, such as distribution-free uncertainty quantification. More broadly, I am excited about applications of probability and statistics in machine learning and AI. I would be thrilled to be part of a research community to collaborate with inspiring people. Feel free to reach out and check my research!
