RSC Digital Discovery Emerging Investigator

I was recently recognized as an up-and-coming researcher making notable contributions to accelerated science through machine learning and quantum-mechanics. As part of this distinction, I have been invited to contribute to the next Digital Discovery Emerging Investigators themed collection. Last year's collection included works from a number of exciting emerging researchers, as highlighted on the journal's website.

IEEE LANANO 2025

I co-organized the first IEEE Latin American Conference on Nanotechnology during November 4-7, 2025 at the Universidad Andina del Cusco in Cuzco, Peru. The event was a great success, thanks to all the inspiring plenary and invited talks, as well as the vibrant participation of attendees. It was wonderful to meet and exchange ideas with researchers and students from across LATAM who share similar scientific goals.
