§2 Research Experience

2024–present

MSc Thesis Researcher

CIC-IPN, Mexico City

Designed BiLayerEdgeConv, a dual-branch GNN architecture with cross-attention fusion for EAS core position reconstruction in the SWGO experiment. Trained on HAWCSim-generated Monte Carlo events (10⁵+ simulated showers). Achieved 45 m MAE, a −20% reduction over single-branch baselines. Funded by CONACYT and BEIFI scholarships.

Active contributor to the ML & Reconstruction working group within SWGO. Developing graph-based methods for Water Cherenkov Detector event reconstruction in gamma-ray astronomy.

2025–present

Lead Engineer (Volunteer)

Yekola

Technical lead for an audio-first language preservation platform targeting low-resource Congolese languages. Architecting the ML pipeline: ASR with cross-lingual transfer learning (wav2vec 2.0), TTS synthesis, and language identification.
