I am a mathematician with an interest in the foundations and modeling of random phenomena. I studied my BSc in Actuarial Sciences and MSc in Mathematics at the National Autonomous University of México. Later on, I obtained my PhD in Applied Mathematics in 2019 from the Technical University of Denmark. From September 2018 to November 2021 I worked as an ARC Research Associate at The University of Adelaide - currently I holding an Adjunct Lecturer position - working with Dr. Giang T. Nguyen . In December 2021 I became a SNSF Senior Researcher at the University of Lausanne (Switzerland), working with Prof. Hansjoerg Albrecher.

My interests lie in the area of probability and stochastic processes (applied and theoretical).

Recent projects include:

  • Strong convergence of stochastic processes
  • Stochastic differential equations in regime-switching environments
  • Phase-type distributions and dependence in risk theory
  • Appointments
