About me

Iago

Throughout my journey, I have been deeply involved with physical and computational sciences. Currently, I am pursuing my undergraduate degree at Oberlin College, where I am double majoring in Physics (with a concentration in Astrophysics) and Computer Science.

As a computational physicist, I have been conducting research on Numerical Relativity for the past 3 years as a member of the SXS collaboration. My research has been focused on describing the surface of black holes in a flat geometry (known as the isometric embedding problem) for computational simulations.

As a software engineer, I have had 2 internships at Google, working with Wear OS (Android) and the Google Assistant AI. I have also worked with web and mobile development on many personal projects, some of which you can check on my portfolio.
