Membro desde 2016
I finished my study in observational astrophysics at the University of California, Riverside. Most of my work was applying statistical modeling of large galaxy surveys. Nowdays I work as a data scientist in a tech company. I am generally very interested in science, mathematics and technology. And I enjoy conversations and specially debates from time to time. I could be both laconic and gregarious based on the topic. I love to travel and I hope I could do that more often.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing
I think it is pretty amazing to have the opportunity to be someone's guest or host for couple of days meanwhile learning about their cultures and making new friends.

Meus Interesses
Observational cosmology is my main interest as a PhD student. But I also like pretty much anything related to physical sciences, mathematics, and computer science. I love to read (books, newspapers, reports, articles) . Listening to music is another one.
