About Me

I am a Ph.D. in Informatics and System Engineering at the University of Zaragoza, Spain. My research interest focuses on heterogeneous systems, using CPU, GPU and FPGA devices. In FPGAs, I have experience in High Level Desing with OpenCL and C/C++ languages.
Since October 2017, I was studying my Ph.D. with a scholarship from Santander bank and University of Zaragoza. In November 2019, I spend 3 months in the Technische Universität Dresden with a HiPeac collaboration grant.
From 2014 and 2017, I was working on digital and analog design of electronic circuits in SENA (National Service of Education), Colombia, as a developer in projects for SMEs. In 2014, I got my Master degree as Electronic Engineer in the University of Valle, Colombia, with a research focus on parallelization of optimization algorithms, such as metaheuristics, on GPU devices using CUDA.
