Summer Intern

CERN

Worked on enabling Julia code to run at scale in distributed systems via the CERN Virtual Machine File System. We saved more than 90% computational time by generating reusable and relocatable cache files via LLVM.

Laboratory Assistant

Universidade Federal da Integração Latino-Americana - UNILA

I helped maintain the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) via monitoring of administrative resources. I also learned the basics of the SEM operation and sample preparation.

Research Assistant Intern

Brown University

Working for the Harris Lab, we developed numerical simulations to solve impacting problems between deformable objects. Helped design simple experimental setups to test our simulations.

reAcción Paraguay

Curated data out of thousands of contracts using Python to analyze and compare public expenditure of central and local institutions before and after the covid-19 outbreak. Two research projects resulted from this investigation, concluding that the Health Ministry needed to enhance public expenditure quality.

Project Intern

Parque Tecnológico Itaipu

Parque Tecnológico Itaipu aims to provide innovative solutions to local problems through research and collaboration with its partners and society. Among other projects, extracted data to check water pollution in the local lake of Ciudad del Este, provided for the first time solar energy to a isolated community with little to no infrastructure. -I was part of the Center of Innovation, Control and Automatization (CIAC), as part of the team involved in developing fault diagnosis devices for high-voltage circuit breakers using Machine Learning and Wave Analysis.

Olympiad Organizer and Trainer

OMAPA

An NGO which promotes scientific education for high school students through competitions all around Paraguay. It is in charge of organizing both the Paraguayan Math and Programming Olympiads, as well as training teams that will represent Paraguay in various international competitions. It also has programs to train high school math teachers to reach excellence in class. My contribution in OMAPA: -Currently part of the teachers' staff which trains young prospects who will be sent in these international teams -Part of the team which devises the tests that are given to more than 100.000 high school students in Paraguay

Academic Staff

Mathura

Mathura is an NGO which offers free preparation courses for high school students who want to earn governmental scholarships, or just prepare to attend to undergraduate degrees. Mathura is aware that lack of decent education in the majority of schools in Paraguay is a serious problem and aims to combat it by preparing the next generation by means of exploiting resources of the current generation (the average age of Mathura teachers is 22 years old).

Teacher

Piensa

To promote programming competitions in our city, we gave free Python courses to students aged 12-16 to prepare them for the competitions

Data Analyst

reAcción Paraguay

ReAccion is a non-profit NGO from Ciudad del Este that uses civic education to enable young citizens to promote change by demanding accountability from government, focusing on the education sector. -Speaker at one of a series of videos aimed at instructing the public in general how to use data to promote healthy public expenditure and government transparency in general. -Promoted good quality open data usage by sharing curated public contracts related to governmental spending on nearby schools.

Impact of a rigid sphere onto an elastic membrane

We study the axisymmetric impact of a rigid sphere onto an elastic membrane theoretically and experimentally. We derive governing equations from first principles and impose natural kinematic and geometric constraints for the coupled motion of the sphere and the membrane during contact. The free-boundary problem of finding the contact surface, over which forces caused by the collision act, is solved by an iterative method. This results in a model that produces detailed predictions of the trajectory of the sphere, the deflection of the membrane, and the pressure distribution during contact. Our model predictions are validated against our direct experimental measurements. Moreover, we identify new phenomena regarding the behaviour of the coefficient of restitution for low impact velocities, the possibility of multiple contacts during a single rebound, and energy recovery on subsequent bounces. Insight obtained from this model problem in contact mechanics can inform ongoing efforts towards the development of predictive models for contact problems that arise naturally in multiple engineering applications.
