About Me

Prospective PhD student (Fall 2026)

I am a young researcher at the High Dimensional Signal Processing Group (HDSP) in Colombia, dedicated to advancing the fields of computational imaging, signal processing, and deep learning. My work is driven by the conviction that technology and innovation are key levers for positive impact. Academically, I have a robust background from the Universidad Industrial de Santander, having completed my Master’s in Computer Science in 2025. I graduated with high honors from the Computer Science undergraduate program in 2023 (Cum Laude), and my thesis was recognized with the Outstanding Undergraduate Thesis Award. My academic and research potential has been further recognized by the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) Scholarship in both 2023 and 2024.
