I am a Mechatronics Engineering student at Tecnológico de Monterrey with a strong passion for R&D in aeronautics and advanced manufacturing. I am currently working on simulations and experimental characterization for micro-injection molding as a visiting research student at DTU Construct.
My research interests include morphing aircraft structures, compliant mechanisms, architected metamaterials, aerodynamic optimization, and advanced manufacturing processes for UAV applications.
Before joining DTU, I conducted research on 3D-printed compliant joints for camber morphing wings at the Metamaterials and Lightweight Structures Lab, focusing on parametric design, FEM simulation, and experimental characterization of cellular metamaterials.
I also led Tec Racing Aerodesign team in the SAE Aerodesign competition as Chief Engineer, where I focused on CAD design and manufacturing of experimental cargo UAVs. In addition, I completed an internship in the automotive industry, working in product development and mechanical design.
