Sobre mí

I have extensive expertise in numerical simulations of astrophysical systems, utilizing large datasets and high-performance computational (HPC) resources. My research focused on the dynamics of fluids in physical and astrophysical environments.

During my undergraduate studies at the National University of Colombia, I worked at the National Astronomical Observatory of the National University of Colombia on a cosmology project investigating computationally modified gravity theories (f(R)) using fluid dynamics. Later, during my master’s and doctoral studies at the University of São Paulo (Brazil), I developed and optimized numerical simulations using FORTRAN for MPI-parallelized computations, as well as Python and C++ for algorithm development and data analysis of magneto-hydrodynamic fluid (MHD fluids). Specifically, I implemented grid-based HPC methods to solve the Navier-Stokes equations for astrophysical environments, leveraging the computing cluster of the Astronomy Institute at the University of São Paulo. This work led to a published paper in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (MNRAS) titled Role of AGN and Star Formation Feedback in the Evolution of Galaxy Outflows.

Looking ahead, I am deeply passionate about advancing my expertise in computational astrophysics and fluid dynamics. I thrive on the challenge of merging high-performance computing with fundamental physics, optimizing simulation codes, refining grid-based models, or applying state-of-the-art techniques to enhance computation in mesh-based codes. I’m eager to contribute to projects that push the boundaries of numerical fluid dynamics while expanding my skills in large-scale simulations and data-driven modeling. The intersection of code development, physics, and HPC is where I see myself growing as a researcher—and where I can make the most impactful contributions.
