I am a Uruguayan mathematician from Montevideo, currently an Assistant Professor at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. My research lies in dynamical systems and ergodic theory, with a focus on hyperbolic and partially hyperbolic systems, as well as on connections with thermodynamic methods, bounded cohomology, and geometric aspects of group actions.
I obtained my undergraduate degree in Mathematics from the Universidad de la República in 2005, and my Master’s and PhD from the University of Toronto, under the supervision of Charles Pugh and Mike Shub. I then held postdoctoral positions at IMPA, ICMC–USP, and Penn State University, where I worked with Enrique Pujals, Ali Tahzibi, and Federico Rodríguez Hertz.
I teach undergraduate and graduate courses, supervise students at different levels, and have taught minicourses and delivered invited lectures at institutions in several countries.
Outside mathematics, I am a Peñarol fan.
