Hi there!

I am a PhD student in Mathematics at Universidad de la República (Uruguay), supervised by Mauricio Velasco. 

My current research focuses on approximation methods and polynomial optimization, with particular interest in mollified Christoffel–Darboux kernels and applications to support estimation and density recovery.

I completed my MSc in Mathematics in 2024 under the supervision of Álvaro Rittatore. My master's thesis was in algebraic geometry and invariant theory.

Research interests

• Real algebraic geometry

• Polynomial optimization

• Approximation theory and density recovery

• Christoffel–Darboux kernels

• Moment methods

Outside academia, I enjoy reading, biking, and cheering for Club Nacional de Football.
