I am a Doctorate Candidate at Carnegie Mellon University under Dr. Kenji Shimada, specializing in Machine Vision for surface damage inspection. Additionally, I am researching Model-Based System Engineering with Dr. David Wettergreen and Reinforcement Learning-based robotics, particularly for gait optimization on legged robots, with Dr. Howie Choset.

As an Adjunct Professor at Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez and Universidad de Santiago de Chile, I teach courses in Robotic Systems Design, Product Design, and Reinforcement Learning.

Prior to my Ph.D., I led the Modeling and Simulation Center of the Chilean Army from 2017 to 2019, overseeing critical R&D initiatives. Before that, I served as a Project Manager at the same center, developing a national emergency simulation, a technology-organizational system network, and a virtual shooting range.

I hold two Master of Science degrees from Carnegie Mellon University, one in Mechanical Engineering and the other in Computational Design. During my master's studies, I worked with Dr. Shimada on UAV planning for inspection purposes and with Dr. Collins on redesigning a bionic prosthesis for amputees.
