2018 – TO DATE – Canada / France

In this engineering laboratory, I optimized a method known as Open-Up for anomaly detection and explanation. My primary focus has revolved around the design of AI systems that harmonize with experts’ mental models, thereby elevating human-machine interaction and bolstering the feasibility of implementation and deployment. My expertise extends to crafting explainable AI algorithms tailored for quality control in the aerospace and manufacturing sectors. ->Link

2019-2023  – Canada

I designed explainable algorithms for identifying and categorizing defects in aircraft engines. During this process, I pinpointed engineering challenges and methodological deficiencies that had the potential to impact the system’s usability and safety. To address these concerns, I conducted in-depth research to integrate cutting-edge strategies to ensure the system’s acceptance, usability, and long-term sustainability. ->Link

2012-2023 – Colombia / US / Iraq

In public policy and social program quantitative evaluation within underdeveloped countries, my specialization lies in crafting comprehensive survey methodologies encompassing many critical elements. This entails designing randomized population studies, proposing probabilistic sampling techniques, and the application of advanced non-response statistical models to enhance the robustness of data analysis and collection. My proficiency extends to encompassing variance estimation and intricate statistical modeling, which have proven pivotal in addressing a diverse array of critical topics. These topics span from assessing HIV prevalence among female sex workers and evaluating the safety of national food supplies for children and expectant mothers to tackling healthcare challenges in indigenous communities and shaping housing policies in rural regions. Furthermore, my contributions extend to impactful initiatives like PRINDEX in Colombia in 2021 and the Women’s WEAI program in Iraq in 2022, particularly emphasizing advancing women’s empowerment in agriculture.->Link
