Biography
I was born in Bolivia and moved to the USA at the age of 3 years old. I grew up in South Florida. After high school, I attended the University of Florida where I obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics, Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy. I stayed at the University of Florida to obtain a Master of Science in Physics degree working in the LISA and LIGO group. After UF, I briefly worked as an Engineer in Minnesota only to decide that I needed to go back to school and get my PhD at the University of Miami. Eventually, I became a post doc working at UM's marine campus until I discovered medical physics and changed careers. -

Research Interests
My current research focus is on using quantitative imaging features from medical images to predict patient outcomes. I am focused on delta-radiomics which seeks to use patient images (MRI or CBCT) from different time points throughout the course of treatment to provide machine learning models to predict treatment response of radiotherapy. -
