About

I am a research geophysicist at DUG, specializing in Full-Waveform Inversion (FWI). Previously, I completed my Ph.D. in Geophysics at the University of Alberta (UofA) ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ, where I conducted research under the guidance of Prof. Mauricio Sacchi. My Ph.D. research focused on developing deep-learning tools for solving inverse problems in seismic imaging and signal processing.

Before finishing my Ph.D. and joining DUG, I earned a B.S. (2015) in geophysical engineering from Simon Bolivar University ๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ช and an M.S. (2019) in computational geophysics from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท.

My expertise includes:
