Electronic Engineer and Master's student in Electronic Engineering with experience in seismology, inverse problems in geophysics, signal processing, and artificial intelligence. My research focuses on the development of full-waveform inversion (FWI) algorithms, working with seismic and electromagnetic data to explore both individual and joint inversion schemes. I have also collaborated with the University of Delaware on a project focused on fusing LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellite data to obtain high-resolution terrain imagery, utilizing diffusion networks as an advanced fusion technique. Additionally, I have developed artificial intelligence algorithms to predict focal mechanisms from seismological measurements. I am passionate about research. As an engineer, I aspire to make a significant contribution, driven by my commitment to innovation and problem-solving.
