Highlights:As a PhD candidate in Physics specializing in nonlinear dynamics, I have made significant contributions through rigorous research, resulting in two impactful publications. My experience spans both the private and public sectors, where I have held various roles, including Research Chief, in administrative and research capacities. One of my most notable achievements is the development of advanced numerical methods for solving nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) across diverse physical contexts, such as nonlinear optics and magnetization dynamics. To date, I have published a total of three papers in reputable peer-reviewed journals. Furthermore, I have effectively communicated complex concepts through teaching and mentoring undergraduate students, nurturing the next generation of physicists.

Skills:Numerical Methods, Fortran, Mathematica, Nonlinear Dynamics, Theoretical Physics, Nonlinear Optics, Condensed Matter

Goal:My objective is to obtain a position within a dynamic research and development environment where I can leverage my skills to tackle complex challenges, drive innovative solutions, and deepen our understanding of physical phenomena through the application of both theoretical analytical techniques and advanced numerical and computational methods.

Honor:Honor Diploma for the Best Student in the Undergraduate Physics Program
