I'm a Physicist with a Ph.D. in Geospace Physics. I've been working for two and a half years as a data scientist. Since my undergraduate, I've been working with the Earth's magnetic field, analyzing geomagnetic pulsations and other frequency ranges related to events in the Sun-Earth medium. In my Thesis, I evaluated the ULF waves and relativistic electrons interaction in the Outer Radiation Belts during all Van Allen Probes Era. I have a strong background in space physics, space plasma, and Earth's radiation belts physics, especially analyzing wave signals and outer radiation belt electron variations.
My current projects are related to using machine learning to predict Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GIC), using near real-time solar wind data for regions in mid to high latitudes. I am also interested in studying waves and particle interaction leading to particle precipitation in high and low latitudes.
