About Me
I am a Postdoc Researcher in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania supervised by Nat Trask. 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. From October 2022 to April 2023, I did a resarch intern at the CRUNCH Group led by George Karniadakis at Brown University.
Research Interests
- Computational Mechanics: continuum mechanics, physics, PDEs, model order reduction
- Real-time Simulations: AR/VR, physics engines, interactive applications
- Deep Learning: scientific AI, inductive biases, graph neural networks
