Naval architecture, ship hydrodynamics, and computational fluid dynamics for marine propulsion.
I am a Marine Engineer (Ingeniero Naval) from UTN FRMDP with a strong focus on ship resistance, marine propulsion, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Currently, I serve as Professor and Researcher at UTN FRMDP while pursuing a PhD in Engineering at UNMDP FI with a CONICET fellowship.
My work spans from academic research in hydrodynamic optimization to applied engineering consultancy for the marine industry. I develop open-source educational tools using Python and Streamlit to teach naval architecture concepts interactively.
