I am a PhD student at UPC, currently working as a researcher at ViRVIG under the supervision of Oscar Argudo and Carlos Andújar. My research focuses on augmenting complex human body animations in sports, such as bouldering, using Deep Reinforcement Learning.
During my MSc studies, I have researched on physically-based methods for lava fluid simulations. I also contributed in a physically-based rock fracture simulation project. Additionally, I started working at the ViRVIG lab as a research intern for an HP project, which focused on intensive geometric algorithms for 3D printing.
I hold a BSc in Computer Science from Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, where I worked at the IA-PUCP lab under the supervision of Ivan Sipirán, focusing on 3D reconstruction techniques for cultural heritage using Deep Learning. Throughout these years, I had the opportunity to work as a software developer and cloud engineer at companies such as EY, Huawei, and Tuxpas.
With a strong background in both industry and research, I am committed to bridging the gap between cutting-edge research technologies and their practical applications in the industry.
