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.
