I am currently a Mathematics Ph.D. student at Purdue University. I am a former Research Intern at the 2023 MIT Lincoln Laboratory Summer Research Program, where I researched machine learning under Group 39 of Division 3, as part of the National GEM Consortium Fellowship Employer Internship. In the summer of 2022, I was a participant at the Summer@ICERM2022: Computational Combinatorics REU Program at Brown University, where I researched Parking Functions and Algebraic Combinatorics. In the summer of 2021, I participated in the East Tennessee State Universtiy & University of Puerto Rico at Ponce REU Program in Algebraic Coding Theory, Probability and Combinatorics, where I researched Algebraic-Geometric Error-Correcting Codes and Linear Error-Correcting Codes. I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez Campus (UPRM). Some of my hobbies include origami, watching pop-culture related movies and shows, enjoying nature, and playing percussion instruments. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me through email.
