Originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, I received my B.S.E. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University in 2008. At Princeton I worked in Professor Pino Martin's lab (the CRoCCo Lab), where I wrote my senior thesis on designing algorithms for identifying and tracking hairpin packets in DNS data of hypersonic turbulent boundary layers. In 2009, I joined John Dabiri's lab at Caltech, the Biological Propulsion Lab. At the Dabiri Lab, I have worked on several projects involving the application of tools from dynamical systems to vortex dynamics problems in biological propulsion. In May 2013, I received my Ph.D. in Control and Dynamical Systems, from Caltech. I am currently a Guidance and Control Engineer at the NASA Jet Propulsion Lab.
