Hi! I'm an architect, environmental designer and researcher passionate about creating future-proof and resilient built environments for a changing climate, bridging the gap between design and performance.

I work as a Postdoc Researcher at the Institute of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (DATAI) at the University of Navarra (UNAV) in Spain, where I collaborate with Prof. Dr. Jesús Lopez Fidalgo on cutting-edge research projects applied to the built environment linked to computational design of experiments and AI.

I have a Ph.D. in Environmental and Technological Design in Architecture from the same university, where I studied how form-related passive design strategies can help reduce overheating risk and promote socio-environmental performance in warm tropical climates. During my Ph.D., I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Dr. Ana Sánchez-Ostiz and Prof. Dr. Aurora Monge from UNAV and Prof. Dr. Nirmal Kishnani from the National University of Singapore (NUS). As part of my Ph.D., I spent some time at NUS, where I learned from innovative and sustainable architectural projects by WOHA Architects in Singapore. I also conducted fieldwork in Honduras, where I monitored indoor temperature and surveyed thermal comfort in residential buildings with/without passive cooling strategies.
 
My research interests include:

Before pursuing my master's and PhD studies and postdoc position in Spain, I gained professional experience as an architect at an NGO in Honduras called Tegucigalpa's Ecological Foundation (FET). During my time there, I contributed to various projects, including the redesign of the "Monumento de la Paz" Plaza in the "Cerro Juana Lainez" Park. I obtained my bachelor's degree in Architecture from the Catholic University of Honduras (UNICAH) in 2014. I am originally from Tegucigalpa, Honduras, the capital city of a beautiful and tropical Central American country.
