I am a Phd. student in Mathematics at  Instituto de Ciencias Matematicas (ICMAT) of Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), Madrid, Spain. Working towards my  thesis about the geometry of  mechanical control systems, under the supervision of  Dr. David Martin de Diego.

 I got my graduate studies in Mathematics at Universidad Nacional de La Plata (UNLP), La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina where i am originally from.
