I am a Ph. D. candidate (under Dr. Jennifer Park's supervision) and Graduate Teaching Associate at The Ohio State University's math department, where I got my M. S. in Mathematics. My research fields are Number Theory, Algebraic Geometry, and Model Theory. More specifically, I am very interested in finding first-order logical descriptions of geometrical sets having arithmetic interest, to contribute towards decision problems related to polynomial equations over global fields; something known as generalized versions of Hilbert's Tenth Problem.

Originally born in Argentina, I obtained my undergraduate degree in mathematics at Universidad de Buenos Aires, by publishing a thesis dissertation under Dr. Matilde Lalín's supervision on the topic of Elliptic Surfaces.

Curriculum Vitae

Teaching Experience

From 2021 to 2025 I held a position as a Graduate Teaching Associate at OSU, in which I taught single variable and multivariable calculus, and linear algebra.
In 2019 I was a Teaching Assistant at Universidad de San Andrés, where I taught multivariable calculus.
From 2018 to 2019 I was a Teaching Assistant at Universidad de Buenos Aires, where I taught linear algebra, discrete mathematics, and numerical calculus.
During 2014 I initiated a math workshop in my high school, in which I offered training classes for math olympiads.

Miscellaneous interests

I am extremely passionate about math education, and have received various teaching awards at OSU (see my CV). I always hope and pray to be a good influence for my students, for the sake of transmitting the beauty of math to the minds of those who are curious enough to explore it.

My academic non-mathematical interests are natural theology and apologetics (my favorite writer is Gary Michuta), while my personal mission in life is to continuously grow up spiritually to serve my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, under the guidance and intercession of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, to Whom I'm consecrated.

I have a Twitter/X profile where I am either sharing solutions to math puzzles, or praising God. And I have a YouTube channel where I share my musical facet by performing recorder interpretations of praise & worship Christian songs.

Oh, and I am the biggest enemy of pineapple on pizza.
