Investigación

Soy un metodólogo que trabaja en la intersección de sistemas complejos y computación estadística, con enfoque en computación de alto rendimiento y aprendizaje automático. Una parte central de mi trabajo es el desarrollo de software científico: como ingeniero de software profesional, dedico un esfuerzo significativo a asegurar que los métodos y herramientas que creo sean confiables, abiertos y ampliamente accesibles para la comunidad de investigación. Mis colaboraciones abarcan diversos campos, incluyendo epidemiología, salud pública, análisis de redes sociales y genómica, pero todas comparten una base común en computación intensiva y métodos estadísticos avanzados.
