I am an international Fulbright scholar and currently work as a researcher. My research primarily focuses on causal inference with observational data, graphical models for information selection, semiparametric estimation theory, and spatial econometrics.

I recently completed my PhD in Statistics at the Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (MatNat), at the University of Oslo (UiO). My academic background also includes:

  • MSc in Statistics – Michigan State University (MSU)
  • MA in Economics – Universidad de los Andes (UniAndes)
  • BA in Economics – UniAndes

My professional experience spans roles as a researcher, consultant, and lead data scientist. I have contributed to projects involving:

  • the evaluation of benefits from pharmacological treatment for ADHD,
  • the analysis of international trade and investment flows,
  • the design and evaluation of randomized experiments for mobile banking products, and
  • the quantitative assessment of regional competitiveness, among others.
