I earned my bachelor's degree from Universidad de Costa Rica. I completed my PhD at Courant Institute, New York University, and spent one year as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Mathematics of the Czech Academy of Sciences.
My academic interests lie in the fields of numerical analysis and scientific computing. Currently, my research project focuses on different algorithms designed for solving partial differential equations, posed in H(curl) and H(grad), for general domains, using Domain Decomposition algorithms, Finite Element Methods and Virtual Element Methods.
In addition, I have worked on projects related to mathematical modeling for both dengue and COVID and currently I am starting to work with a research group on inverse problems and photoacoustic imaging.
