About me

---

I am a Research Engineer at Huawei LRC working on reasoning and agentic AI. Previously, I did my PhD in the CDT in NLP programme in the University of Edinburgh, under the supervision of Shay B. Cohen and Matthias Galle. Before, I completed my master studies at the Language & Communication Technologies programme (LCT), and my bachelors at the National University of Engineering in Lima, Peru.

I'm interested in a variety of topics in machine learning, NLP, and cognitive science, including latent reasoning, safety alignment, mechanistic interpretability, and psycholinguistics models of reasoning. Previously, I developed language tools for under-resourced languages of Peru.
