Bio: 

Hey! I am a third-year PhD student in the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department with research interests in signal processing, optimal transport, and applied topology. 

I was born in the Dominican Republic and grew up in the only NYC borough that is a part of mainland USA. Before Rice, I lived in the City of Bridges for five years attending Carnegie Mellon University working towards B.S. and M.S. degrees also in ECE. Outside of research I like to cook, eat, bike, frequent coffee shops, and explore Houston. 

Feel free to reach out to me if you have questions about anything ECE, Rice, Houston, etc!

Why did you decide to go to grad school?

I aspire to become a professor and help inspire and guide future generations of underrepresented academics in STEM.
