About Me

Power systems engineer specializing in grid dynamics and the control of converter-dominated systems —> the technical core of modern electrical infrastructure.

My work focuses on how large-scale networks behave under increasing shares of renewable generation: system modeling, stability analysis, and multi-terminal coordination, applied across both research and industry-oriented projects. Alongside the engineering, I have developed practical skills in scientific computing, data-driven methods, and optimization algorithms, tools I apply to system-level analysis and decision-support challenges in power systems.

Short Bio

I received my Bachelor’s degree in Sustainable Development Engineering in Mexico, where I developed myself in large-scale energy projects and power technologies. During my undergraduate studies, I engaged in research on HVDC systems and data-driven methods, including an academic research stay in China.

I have gained industry exposure through internships and collaborations in the energy and infrastructure sectors, including work with bp (British Petroleum), Enel Green Power, and industrial R&D teams at electricity suppliers.

From 2023 to 2026, I have pursued an international academic path across China, France, Spain, and Romania, working on both academic and industry-oriented projects. My Master’s dissertation, “Distributed Game-Theoretic Coordination of Energy Communities under Shared Grid Constraints” is scheduled for defense in August 2026. This Spring 2026, I am conducting research as a visiting student at KTH Royal Institute of Technology.

Alongside my studies, I have worked on energy systems optimization and system-level modeling, with applications to electricity markets, forecasting, energy trading, and decision-support tools for power system operation.

Life Outside Work

Beyond my academic pursuits, I enjoy mountain hiking, strength training and journaling.
