From raw data
to the scientific question.

Electronic engineer with a master’s in information systems and a master’s in astrophysics. For more than fifteen years I have turned data into knowledge; today I apply that craft, AI and data analysis, to understanding the universe.

Research

A sky full of work

Every star is a piece of work you can read in full, with nothing to download. The constellations will grow as I add my work from UTN and Universidad del Norte.
