> I'm a 2nd year Ph.D. student at the University of Pennsylvania, where I mostly think about optimization theory, signal processing and machine learning with Prof. Ribeiro.
Before graduate school, I spent some time at Stanford's Kundaje Lab, working on chromatin accessibility prediction and genomic motif discovery. I was also a summer intern at CERN, contributing to the CMS Open Data initiative with Dr. Lassila-Perini.
I'm originally from Montevideo, Uruguay, where I obtained a BSc. in Electrical Engineering from UdelaR . During my undergrad I was a signal processing intern at ProteanTecs , a chip predictive maintenance start-up, and before that, I was a software developer at IBM .

Some stuff I like about my country.
My only real conversation is with this green gourd.Julio Cortázar
We're kind of chill, obsessed with soccer, skeptical of authority and fixated on social welfare.
The best pizza in Uruguay, provably.
No le hagas caso a tanto misterio
vos ya sabés la verdad
que no hay nada peor para esta seriedad
que tomársela en serio.
Typical sunday meal at family gatherings.

Water is my natural environment.
Involuntarily drinking water in Punta Ballena.
Glassy morning in one of my favourite uruguayan spots.
Involuntarily drinking frozen, cristalyzed water.
West Santa Lucia River by the way.
Me and my uncle Ernesto, with whom I crossed the Atlantic in 2016.
In 2013, while playing for Uruguay's U-17 national team I lost 3-23 to the US.
