academic bio & CV

Short bio

I'm an Argentinian astrophysicist investigating how matter behaves when space-time (= gravity) is extremely curved. I completed my Ph.D. in physics in La Plata, Buenos Aires under the supervision of Gustavo E. Romero with a thesis named "Local effects of the expansion of the universe". During this period I did research stays at West Virginia University, working on radio pulsars, at Rochester Institute of Technology, working on binary black hole accretion, and at Perimeter Institute, working on binary neutron star mergers.

I'm now doing my first postdoc at Perimeter Institute with a joint CITA National Fellowship (at the University of Guelph), where I am continuing to work on black holes, binary compact objects, and high-energy astrophysics. For this purpose, I do multi-physics simulations complemented with semi-analytical calculations to make models that can help us understand what we see on the telescopes. My goal is to understand the physical mechanism underlying the powerful emission produced by these systems and use this knowledge to learn about their cosmic history. 

I'm also very interested in philosophical aspects of science, especially ethical, ontological, and semantical questions surrounding physics and natural science. I always strive to be clear, honest, open, and helpful to others in my work.
