About

I´m a historian interested in Digital Humanities and focused in nineteenth century history of Colombia. My research encompasses the study of coleccionism and documental archives formed by intelectual elites in South America from a data science perspective that includes Natural Language Processing, Network analysis, Machine Learning, Spatial analysis and geocoding and deep neuralnetworks to automatically transcribe images of personal letters between collectors and contributors.

During 2021, I collaborated with the Max Planck Institute for Legal Studies in the TEI encoding of numerous articles relative to Canonical Law framed into the american colonial period.

From 2020 to the present day, i´m master’s candidate in the field of Geomatics for spatial analysis focused in sociodemographic data analysis with real experience in the case study of the south of Ecuador, where I develope tools to gather and analyze spatial data as part of a studentship provided by Universitat Politécnica de Valencia (UPV)
