### Short bio (spanish) <a name="short_bio_sp"></a>
> <NAME> es un investigador que trabaja con métodos computacionales, físicos y matemáticos aplicados a los desafíos que presentan
  las Ciencias de la Ingeniería. Se interesa en establecer puentes entre la investigación teórica y sus aplicaciones en las áreas de desarrollo del país.
  Nacido en Uruguay (Montevideo, 1988), se graduó en la Licenciatura en Física de la Univ. de la República (Facultad de Ciencias), y luego en la carrera de
  Ingeniería Eléctrica (Facultad de Ingeniería). Se trasladó a Francia para seguir un doctorado (PhD) en Matemáticas e Informática (Univ. Joseph Fourier, 2013-2015),
  escribiendo una tesis titulada "Caminatas Cuánticas y Mecánica Cuántica Relativista". Actualmente es Docente Encargado en la Universidad Tecnológica ([UTEC](https://utec.edu.uy), Durazno).
  Previamente fue (2016-2017) investigador de post-doctorado en el laboratorio VERIMAG de la Universidad Grenoble Alpes.
### Short bio (english) <a name="short_bio_en"></a>
> <NAME> is a researcher working on scientific computing and mathematical methods for engineering sciences. He was born in Uruguay (Montevideo, 1988), graduated in Physics from Univ. de la Republica (Facultad de Ciencias), and then in Electrical Engineering (Facultad de Ingenieria). He moved to France for a PhD in Mathematics and Informatics (Univ. Joseph Fourier, 2013-2015), writing a thesis on quantum computational models and mathematical physics of the quantum random walk. He is current
Associate Professor at Unversidad Tecnológica del Uruguay ([UTEC](https://utec.edu.uy)), and former post-doctoral researcher at VERIMAG laboratory of Université Grenoble Alpes. His research interests lie in the frontier of applied mathematics (optimization, numerical analysis) and formal verification (continuous and hybrid dynamical systems, robust control).

### Presentation <a name="presentation"></a>
Hi! My name is <NAME>, I am Uruguayan, and I made my undergraduate studies at Universidad de la Republica (Montevideo, Uruguay).
I hold a PhD in Mathematics and Informatics from UGA (Dec' 2015). My PhD advisors were [<NAME>](http://pageperso.lif.univ-mrs.fr/~pablo.arrighi/) (Professor at Laboratoire d'Informatique Fondamentale, Aix-Marseille Université) and [<NAME>](https://www-fourier.ujf-grenoble.fr/~joye/) (Professor at Institut Fourier, Université Grenoble Alpes).
Currently, I work as a post-doc researcher at TEMPO team led by [<NAME>](http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~maler/) (CNRS Researcher at VERIMAG, Univ. Grenoble Alpes). It is located at [VERIMAG](http://www-verimag.imag.fr/) laboratory, from [Universite Grenoble Alpes](http://www.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr/) (Grenoble, France). My post-doc is directed by [<NAME>](http://www.sites.google.com/site/frehseg/) (MdC at VERIMAG, Univ. Grenoble Alpes).
