I am a Peruvian Researcher and currently I am a PhD student in the Computer Science department at Stony Brook University, advised by Prof. Paola Cascante-Bonilla and part of the SPEL lab. My research is focused on Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing. Before this, I was an assistant researcher at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul.

In 2022, I obtained my Master's in Computer Science from Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, where I worked with Prof. Claudio Rosito Jung at the Department of Informatics. Our research focused on problems related to spherical images and oriented object detectors. Previously, I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from National University of Trujillo. During my undergraduate studies, I did an exchange program for a year at the University of São Paulo (ICMC).

Research Interest: Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, Diversity and Inclusion Problems.
