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.
