Biography

I obtained my M.Sc. in Computer Science at the Computational Design Group from the Université de Montréal. I currently work as a research engineer at the Complex Chemistry labs in the Mazumdar-Shaw Advanced Research Centre (ARC) from the University of Glasgow. I’m also a Research Affiliate of the Wolfram Physics Project.

A short description of my training, I was drawn to continuous and discrete (Fluid Dynamics and Kinetic Theory) by J. Muñoz, taught FEM by J. Galvis, DG-FEM by X. Zhang(张翔雄), computational design and making machines by B. Thomaszewski and Complex Systems Theory by S. Wolfram, inter alia.
