Biography

I'm a Geophysicist with a major in Geosciences/Atmospheric Sciences. I also obtained a Master's degree in Geophysics at the National Institute for Space Research.

My academic/research background includes a long time working on geophysical data processing using Matlab and IDL programming languages. During my M.Sc. project I've worked with GNSS data processing in order to obtain ionospheric wave propagation parameters. This research led me to receive the 2018 Roberto Manzano Award for young scientists at the Latinamerican Association of Space Geophysics (https://bit.ly/2wFU5a1).

In short, I have experience with programming languages and data processing focused on the following topics:

Seismic Imaging (and Petrel Software), Borehole Geophysics, Geoelectrical Methods, and GNSS (GPS and GLONASS) data.

I am currently studying for a Ph.D. in Geophysics at the National Institute for Space Research, focusing on detection and mitigation of GNSS systems errors, and positioning enhancement (2019-2023).
