About Me

I am a Senior Research Engineer at Emmi AI, focusing on developing the next generation of AI-enhanced engineering solvers. My main research topics lie in the interface between computational mechanics, structure-preserving deep learning and model order reduction with the aim of learning physical simulations from data for real-time applications. My Ph.D. thesis was supervised by Elías Cueto and Alberto Badías at the University of Zaragoza (Spain), inside the Applied Mechanics and Bioengineering group. I also did a resarch intern at the CRUNCH Group led by George Karniadakis at Brown University and postdoc at the Physics-Informed Machine Intelligence Laboratory led by Nat Trask at the University of Pennsylvania.
