Current Positions

R&D engineer at VEDECOM, working as part of the BERTHA project in the data architecture/methodology (WP2).
[Voluntary] Founder and Educational Coordinator at <Quantum|Chamitas>, working on women’s empowerment in quantum science.
[Voluntary] Graduate teaching staff in Physics at the Faculty of Sciences-Universidad Central de Venezuela; instructor of the Quantum Mechanics course.

Professional Experiences

Research

Currently, I work in an European Project where I focus on data methodology and Big Data. During my PhD, I developed and tested regularization/renormalization algorithms for theoretical particle physics, as showcased in my publications and presentations. I am also studying how to improve education in quantum computing for young people.

Data science projects

Previously, I built a machine learning recommendation system for the automobile industry and analyzed data from scientific experiments, the health sector, and other fields using multivariable calculus. Explore my past data science projects here.

Future Aspirations

I aim to contribute to scientific progress and technological development by focusing on data science, Big Data, quantum computing, and particle physics, while actively engaging in European research projects. I am also committed to improving access to science education, including voluntary initiatives in Venezuela to support education for young people.

Ph.D. in Physics 🤖

Specializing in theoretical particle physics and quantum field theory, I earned my Ph.D. from Universidade Federal do ABC (Brazil), with a 7-month exchange at Universidade de Coimbra (Portugal). My research focused on improving precision calculations at NNLO using renormalization and regularization techniques, funded by CAPES. I completed advanced coursework, including 3 graduate courses in quantum mechanics, 2 in quantum field theory, classical electrodynamics, and quantum field theory in curved space.

Master in Physics 🥼

Master’s degree with an internship in experimental particle physics from Université Paris Cité. I took other courses in detector physics, astroparticles, cosmology, gravitational waves, and general relativity. These studies were financed with an International Masters Mobility Scholarship (MIEM).

Bachelor’s Degree in Physics 🐤

From Universidad Central de Venezuela, with an specialization in theoretical physics. My undergraduate thesis was in phenomenology of particle physics. I took courses on classical field theory, statistical physics, quantum mechanics, and mathematical methods. I also took various laboratory courses.

Achievements and Contributions

Published in international journals and authored two monographs on quantum field theory and particle physics.
Recipient of the “Young Researcher” Award in Physics at the LXIV Annual Convention of AsoVAC.
Multiple certifications and courses in quantum computing.
Winner of the Global Quantum Education & Diversity Award from WOMANIUM.
Dedicated to developing and disseminating knowledge about quantum computing in Venezuela with the project <Quantum|Chamitas>.
Mentored and supervised undergraduate student interns in quantum machine learning as Quantum Fellow (2023-2024) in QuantumQuipu.
Winners of the Xanadu’s challenge based on variational quantum circuits with PennyLane during the Qiskit Fall Fest Latino 2023. During the same event we also won the Quantum Universal Education’s challenged. We created a visual novel game about Grover’s algorithm, superposition, and decoherence using Ren’Py.
Featured in an interview in Portuguese, I shared my experiences as a woman in physics, contributing to the dialogue on gender diversity in STEM fields.
