I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at CIMAT (Centro de Investigación en Matemáticas) in Guanajuato, Mexico. During my time there I belonged to the Uncertainty Quantification group, led by Dr Andrés Christen and Dr Marcos Capistrán.
My general research interests lie in Monte Carlo methods and Bayesian inference.
