Facultad de Economía

Universidad de los Andes

Bogotá D.C., Colombia

Eternal student, or philomath. Finishing my MA in economics at Universidad de los Andes; RA for Fernando Stipanicic. I’m currently interested in economic theory, complexity, epistemology, and open science. Oftentimes I work on junior research projects by myself and also with my peers and whoever wants to collaborate. You can check my CV in english and in spanish here. I still pity not learning bayesian statistics and proper lineal algebra in my undergrad.

Research in progress
