Hi! I am a peruvian PhD student in symplectic topology, advised by Russel Avdek. I am interested in contact geometry, pseudoholomorphic curves, and anything that can be drawn on a blackboard.

What I work on

I am currently working on understanding the mechasisms behind automatic transversality to export it to other conexts.

Alongside the thesis I follow courses in the IMJ-PRG master's programme in fundamental mathematics, mostly driven by curiosity.
