My main interest has been in the mathematical and physical exploration of the Universe, particularly in exotic phenomena like dark matter and energy and their connection with quantum gravity and other forces.
Currently, my main focus is on black hole scalarization and solitonic compact objects. An additional interest in computer science has also been of great help, allowing the construction of an ODE solver (in C language); and learning how to use the CADSOL/FIDISOL PDE solver.
Lately, an increasing interest in machine learning has emerged, which I hope can lead to further developments. I intend to give new possibilities and visions to the current scientific paradigm.
